Words and Music by ADDA
Down the street and around the corner is a half a world away
But you've gotta take a path in life so you take it day by day
I spend my precious time learning of things too small to see
And all the while I'm thinking of a place I'd rather be
The city of the circles, the city just my size
The city that not long ago I had to tell goodbye
Ignore it when you have it, but you'll miss it when it's gone
Don't squander all your time here, we all soon move along
Life is funny in that way, the things that come and go
I hope to soon return there, but deep inside I know
No matter where life takes us, no matter where I roam
A special place inside of me will always call you home
Home is where the heart is, a thousand miles from here
A place that hides its secrets, a place I still hold dear
Sights that I can only see in the back of my minds eye
Circle city streets
The big ones they look down on you in the middle of nowhere
But shouldn't be so quick to judge what they don't understand
A dozen can be called greater and many thousands less
I took it all for granted, and now I must confess
That happiness is elsewhere, but never quite the same
The perfume is just not as sweet from a rose of another name
Home is where the heart is, a thousand miles from here
A place that hides its secrets, a place I still hold dear
Sights that I can only see in the back of my minds eye
Circle city streets
You're in my rear view mirror now, and though some time will pass
I know that I will see you soon through the windshield glass
Big Building and the Monument, they seem to wave goodbye
And I know Riley does the same from his resting place on high
I wish I could've known you better, but there'll be time for that
I'll see you in the future when again you cross my path
Home is where the heart is, a thousand miles from here
A place that hides its secrets, a place I still hold dear
Sights that I can only see in the back of my minds eye
Circle city streets
