Diamond Neil Home Is A Wounded Heart lyrics

Words and Music by Neil Diamond

Home is a wounded heart, haven`t you heard the story?
He`s out for love and for glory and she`s waitin` home by the fire.
And wasn`t it yesterday, wasn`t it me who said it?
I swore that you`d never regret it.
Now home is a wounded heart.

It`s a complicated thing, not an ordinary thing
and my heart just breaks in two
`cause I can see you standing there.
You know that I can`t bear your wounded heart.

Paint me a red balloon; give me a string and baby I`ll tie it,
give me a ring and baby I`ll buy it and bring it on home to you.
Home is a wounded heart.
