Where my heart lies
Rusted steel stairs, creak under pressure
Faded old walls, peeled paint falls
Height of house, barely to measure
Small rooms, more like stalls
Yet that fell of home
That smell of cozy love
Not to be found, wherever you roam
Under the ground, or in skies above
No matter how far I went
Sweeter place I never found
Not is skyscrapers, modern or cottages, quaint
To home, my heart is bound
