Home Is Where the Heart Is

Peter, Paul and Mary

1. On the corner there's this nice man
   His name is Mark, He's always smiling
   He's got this mom who comes on Wednesdays
   In the evening with soup so steaming
   He shares his house with his friend Martin

   My little girl wonders all about these men
   I take hold of her hand, and I begin

   No matter how the heart lives
   Inside your heart where love is
   That's where you've got to make yourself

   With their tools and ladders
   And their room addition

   They wink and smile, they say, "Someday maybe."
   But through their doors go kids and mommies
   Funny how you don't see the daddies go in
   My little girl wonders

   I take hold of her hand
   And I begin 
R:
   
3. 'Round the corner, here comes Martin

   He roams around his well stocked kitchen

   My little girl wonders where he will live
   I take hold of her hand and I begin 
R:
   
4. Martin sits and waits with his windows open
   His house is empty, his heart is broken
   We bring him toys and watercolors
   He loves to hear my little baby's stories
   She's the gift I share
   She's his companion
   She's the string on the kite
   She guides him into the wind
   My little girl wonders who will care for him
   We take hold of his hand and we begin
