Ian Foster - The House lyrics

As I stood in front of the house As it kneeled in front of me Where the roof had sorta caved in Some nails were bared like teeth And if the doorway was an eye It held a crooked look of surprise That we had let it get so far Down the line We move on It's what we do We try to let go Of all that we've held onto Deep down a country road Where so few ever go The house kept a silent vigil For the ones it used to know But time it did its work Just like nature and gravity And they slowly broke her spirit As they once did with you and me But luckily… Chorus But as I stood in front of the house As it kneeled in front of me I could see in her broken frame The way it all used to be I guess the poverty of our youth It just went to our heads But I don't remember the hard times now I just remember the day you said Chorus
