Richard Thompson - A Heart Needs a Home

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I know the way
That I feel about you
I'm never goin' to run away
I'm never goin' to run away
I never knew the day
When I lived without you
I'm never goin' to run away
I'm never goin' to run away
I came to you when no one could hear me
I'm sick and weary of bein' alone
Empty streets and hungry faces
The world's no place when you're on your own
A heart needs a home

{Verse 2}
Some people say
That I should forget you
But I'm never goin' to be a fool
No, I'm never goin' to be a fool
A better life, they say
If I'd never met you
But I'm never goin' to be a fool
No, I'm never goin' to be a fool
Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers
Indian givers, hearts of stone
Paper ships and painted faces
The world's no place when you're on your own
Oh, a heart needs a home

Richard thompson is a singer-songwriter and guitar player, who’s work is praised by the press through the years, for both his compositions as his guitar playing. He was nominated for major prices for several of his recordings.
Music critic Neil McCormick described Thompson as “a versatile virtuoso guitarist and a sharp observational singer-songwriter whose work burns with intelligence and dark emotion”.
After succes with his former folk-rock band Fairport Convention, he first made criticly acclaimed albums with his wife Linda Thompson. After there divorce he made about 18 solo albums, as well as making it a habit to publiss live performances of his shows regularly. This was a reaction to his fan base, who made many illegal recordings of his concerts. By publishing them himself, he could maintain some quality of recording and profit from the material. This way, a large proportion of his work is available in live recordings, showing his strenght as a performer of his work, both solo and with band (a selection of wich is available on spotify).
