I’ve been keeping myself far away
And everywhere but here
Shutting out the voice of reason
Whispering in my ear
Running from love, fuelled by fear
I’ve seen the line from love to tears
Etched in stone
All too clear
I need someone to remind me
Love is trying to find me
And bring me home
Bring me home to you
No one lives a life protected
Safe from injury
And I have been a fool expecting
Immunity
So take my heart, lock and key
Promise you won’t run from me
I count on you
Count on me
Oh, I need someone to remind me
Love is trying to find me
And bring me home
Bring me home to you
The heart is a lonely hunter
It’s suddenly so clear
What it is that brought me here
On a winding trail of loneliness
Across plains of disappointment
Across rivers of tears
Never slowing down
Never giving time to rest
The heat is a lonely hunter
It’s hunger drives you on and on
The heart is a lonely hunter
Till you find the place your heart belongs
So many nights I’d had enough
So many times I’d given up
Now I see is aim was true
From the first time you touched my hand
I knew the one my heart demands
And all the while
It was leading me to you
You can feel your heart beat faster
And the tremble in your hands
And the thrill of getting closer to
The one your heart demands
And baby you’re the place my heart belongs
Gotta find the place your heart belongs
And everywhere but here
Shutting out the voice of reason
Whispering in my ear
Running from love, fuelled by fear
I’ve seen the line from love to tears
Etched in stone
All too clear
I need someone to remind me
Love is trying to find me
And bring me home
Bring me home to you
No one lives a life protected
Safe from injury
And I have been a fool expecting
Immunity
So take my heart, lock and key
Promise you won’t run from me
I count on you
Count on me
Oh, I need someone to remind me
Love is trying to find me
And bring me home
Bring me home to you
The heart is a lonely hunter
It’s suddenly so clear
What it is that brought me here
On a winding trail of loneliness
Across plains of disappointment
Across rivers of tears
Never slowing down
Never giving time to rest
The heat is a lonely hunter
It’s hunger drives you on and on
The heart is a lonely hunter
Till you find the place your heart belongs
So many nights I’d had enough
So many times I’d given up
Now I see is aim was true
From the first time you touched my hand
I knew the one my heart demands
And all the while
It was leading me to you
You can feel your heart beat faster
And the tremble in your hands
And the thrill of getting closer to
The one your heart demands
And baby you’re the place my heart belongs
Gotta find the place your heart belongs
