IS THERE ANYONE HOME
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1973


Is there anyone home in this house made of stone
Anyone inside know my name  
I've been around for a half a hundred days  
Never saw a door shut so tight
Turn around, don't look down  
There's a man behind you with a gun.

Like any wandering child in the wilderness
Wild and uncaged on your wings
I think I heard, someone stir
I think I heard, someone stir.

There's a light around you,
I've come to switch it on
It will brighten every room
Don't be ashamed if you feel
A whole lot warmer in your  heart
You got that feelin' in your soul.

Is there anyone home in this house made of stone
Anyone in there who might care
I've grown weary and wise and I feel much amazed
Got a few good tales to unwind
Turn around, don't look down
There's a man behind you with a gun.

Like any wanderin' minstrel at dawn
In the house of a thousand delights.
I think I heard, someone stir
I think I heard, someone stir
I think I heard, someone stir
I think I heard, someone stir
I think I heard, someone stir (fade)
