This House

It took me by surprise

this old house and these old feelings

walked round and looked inside

familiar walls and halls and ceilings

Where I'd dream and plan

every moment of sunshine

this was my whole world

it was all I knew

like the hull of a seed

this old house cracked wide open

as I grew

Hadn't given it much thought

hadn't been back here for a while

everything looks so small

seen through the memories of a child

Who would dream and stare

from that second story window

that was my whole world

it was all I knew

like the hull the of a seed

this old house cracked wide open

and I flew

Sad fruitful broken true

sad fruitful broken true

Memories for miles and miles

summers falls winters and springs

Ruby you take it in

see he's withheld no good thing
