I was watching Ivanhoe
When they said the tornado
Blew your big old house apart
Robert Taylor was the star

You never knew why I was blue
So I went to a movie after you
Spread out on your feather bed
With weather maps you never read

You said the east was freezing
But the clouds were insignificant
I never knew what made you
Speak of sleet between your satin sheets

You're always calling me
But I'm never needed
I'm needy, I'm needy
I'm needing a new home

A fall in Philadelphia
When you were much healthier
Obstructed your recovery
As yellow leaves fell from the trees

You're always calling me
But I'm never needed
I'm needy, I'm needy
I'm needing a new home
