Old House 02:54
Our homes the oldest on our street Wooden floors make noise beneath our feet The cold comes through the walls, it slips through single panes The roof leaks every time it rains The lights kept burning out 'til only one remained A basement filled with empty picture frames We battled for a year and fought at every turn Some days I'd like to see it burn CHORUS I was lost but I found it with you here Fingers crossed like this house, we'll last into the years 'Til we rust- and our foundations turn to dust The walls on this house are like skin Hiding all their troubles deep within Withe every creak, it speaks its mother tongue Reminding us that everyone was once young CHORUS

Raised in the north An outcast straight from birth Make my way always on my own Whoever I'm with, I'm all alone Hear what they say Divide gets wider everyday Born to a Lord I'm a fortunate one But they'll never forget I'm a bastard son CHORUS My name holds me down like chains And the ache and the weight of it all Brings me to a crawl I'm a fortunate one Skies go grey Summer slips away Tales of night spread back and forth Something sinister grows in the north CHORUS ...

Cutting all the lines tied to the dock I gave us a push and we were off Raise the sail up the mast Hope that our rations last Watching all the islands floating by 'Til there's nothing left but waves and sky 'Way from the shores and sand Far from the things on land Oh to be free, only a speck on the sea Point our ship into the setting sun Never looking back where we came from Only to have the stars Lead us right off the chart And the storms that lashed the sides Left us drifting when the wind died On currents that came from unknown To places the map hadn't shown Oh who'd want to be, lost on an endless sea But we braved through the winds and the tides And against all the odds we survived Only to have the stars Lead us right back to the start To the place we'd flown Only to find home
