This House

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In this home I built for you Empty as it stands Once it shown a shining new Crowning the empty lands Shutters cast a distant beat A shimmering glow of light But you haven't been around in years it seems I still drive by every night [Chorus] 'Til then I stand and waited at the door Too tired to listen anymore If you were to walk in right now I'd pull the curtains down [Verse 2] Watch the English ivy grow And slowly take control A memory many years ago Reduced to rock and soil Welcome home (Welcome here) I missed you here (Missed you here) I always knew (Always knew) you'd reappear And when you're ready to jump back in We can build a home again [Chorus] 'Til then I stand and waited at the door Too tired to listen anymore If you were to walk in right now I'd pull the curtains down
