House of Cards

He promised her a homeplace for the family

A rock that they could build their lives upon

He promised they'd entwine their lives forever

But, every time she reaches out, he's gone

There's an empty bed waitin' down the hallway

Tonight she's puttin' out the light alone

Again, she leaves a candle in the window

Without him this house is not a home

House of cards, it was all a house of cards

Built by hand, in better days

House of cards, though, she can barely see him

House of cards, just blow away

It's a shame she wasn't born to follow

She wishes she could hide his dusty boots

She needs someone there that she can lean on

He sow the seed, but never set down roots

House of cards, it was all a house of cards

Built by hand, in better days

House of cards, though, she can barely see him

House of cards, just blow away

House of cards, it was all a house of cards

Built by hand, in better days

House of cards, though, she can barely see him

House of cards, just blow away

House of cards, it was all a house of cards

Built by hand, in better days

House of cards, though, she can barely see him

House of cards, just blow away
