Ivy Covered Walls

(album: Peter Cetera - 1981)

Maybe you can move into a cabin
And near a river down a lonely winding road
Friendly conversation
Then you read by candlelight
Every word of every story told
Maybe you can move into the castle
Surrounded by the ivy covered walls
Find a bit of paradise
Where no one bothers you
Only time they come is when you call

Something I never realized about the city
Once it's in your heart it's there to stay
When you close your eyes you realize
It's been there all along
Home is where you live and where you lay
Everywhere that you go it may seem funny
You can hide if you want, you can change your name

Everywhere I look, everyone I see
Everywhere it's all the same

Something I never realized about the country
Once it's in your heart it's there to stay
When you close your eyes you realize
It's been there all along
Home is where you live and where you lay
Everywhere that you go it may sound funny
You can hide if you want, you can change your name

Everywhere I look
Everyone I see
Everywhere it's all the same
