lyrics
Lazy afternoon
Where the words are few
A quiet contentment sits on my soul
As I think about you
There's quite a bit to say
But it's hard to articulate
All I can say is if the world died today
I'd be happy in this state
Romantic love is nice but it just cannot suffice
To fill this place in my soul
A place for heavenly love, the real deal stuff
That shakes away the blues
It's a place that feels like home
The deepest longing of my heart
Is set on eternity
I'm a citizen apart
From what the world believes
Everyone's on my back with their stuff
All day, everyday
It would be oh so simple to tell them where to get off
But I'm not inclined that way
Can you smile back at a face
that doesn't extend grace?
Can you see what no one else can see?
There's treasure to be found
when the heart is heavenbound
Discovering who it is we should be
And it feels like home
Well baby it sure feels good to feel good
As well as toil and work while I'm here
But this life is a race and I'm keen for that place
Where the heart is at peace and love is near
Where it feels like home
Where the words are few
A quiet contentment sits on my soul
As I think about you
There's quite a bit to say
But it's hard to articulate
All I can say is if the world died today
I'd be happy in this state
Romantic love is nice but it just cannot suffice
To fill this place in my soul
A place for heavenly love, the real deal stuff
That shakes away the blues
It's a place that feels like home
The deepest longing of my heart
Is set on eternity
I'm a citizen apart
From what the world believes
Everyone's on my back with their stuff
All day, everyday
It would be oh so simple to tell them where to get off
But I'm not inclined that way
Can you smile back at a face
that doesn't extend grace?
Can you see what no one else can see?
There's treasure to be found
when the heart is heavenbound
Discovering who it is we should be
And it feels like home
Well baby it sure feels good to feel good
As well as toil and work while I'm here
But this life is a race and I'm keen for that place
Where the heart is at peace and love is near
Where it feels like home
