A House With

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wanted To have a house Full of bird life So I went out and bought feeders Bags of seed Hooks and chains And hung them all around the yard Just outside of every window [Bridge 1] Cardinals Sparrows Goldfinch Juncos Flickers Waxwings Titmouse Buntings [Refrain] Filling up my heart again Filling up my heart again [Verse 2] I wanted to have a house Full of plant life So I went out Bought planters Starts and seeds And bags of soil And put them out in every room In the corners of the light [Bridge] Geranium (Alocasia) Jade Tree (Philodendron) Hydrangea (Tradescantia) Pye weed (Rose of Sharon) Night Bloom (Aloe Vera) Cereus (Portulaca) Vermillion (Spathiphyllum) Oxalis (Terracotta) [Interlude] [Refrain] Filling up my heart again Filling up my heart again [Verse 3] I wanted to have a house Full of life and meaning But everything is wild and fleeting It comes and goes Repeating
