Cape Cod Houses

Lyrics

Oak for the house frame, cedar for the shingle A house of wood, a wealth of care Walnut for the gunstocks, hickory axe handles How long's it been since family lived here? How long's it been since children played away their days? Sounds to fill the room, to take away the gloom That remains with the baskets and the white pine cheesebox Standing in the corner, sounds are as still as the old rocking chair
