Danny Schmidt - Houses Sing lyrics

There's signs in all the yards with a price tag and a plea* Can't you hear them houses sing? (2x) And I can see my daughter swinging in the shade of every tree Can't you hear them houses sing? (2x) And I can move a mountain when the mountain moves in me And I can hear them houses sing, I can hear them houses sing Every building tells a story, every builder holds a pen Can't you hear them houses sing? (2x) They only tell beginnings, they're yours to tell the end Can't you hear them houses sing? (2x) And I can move a mountain when the mountain moves in me And I can hear them houses sing, I can hear them houses sing If there's limestone ‘neath the pylons, that's stone enough for me Can't you hear them houses sing? (2x) Cause I'm cracked in all the places I expect my steps should be Can't you hear them houses sing? (2x) They sing like tired children, they just sing the things they know Then they sink into your arms until your dreams become their own But the only thing that stands between the houses and the homes Is a mountain top, an old steel pail, and thirty years of stones So all you quarrymen and miners, you family men and friends Can't you hear them houses sing? (2x) I'm here to move a mountain, I'm here to make a man Can't you hear them houses sing? (2x) Cause I can move a mountain when the mountain moves in me And I can hear them houses sing Can't you hear them houses sing?
