lyrics

Twisted shutters, chipping paint
Once a home, the memory's faint
Fall into, disrepair
An old farmhouse, without a care.

Raising families, watching birth
Protecting you, gives me worth
My heart grows weary, embers cold
Chimney's fading, I'm growing old.

And now you'll find,
Through pieces left behind,
The story of a home,
On a hillside, all alone.

I'll tell you stories, give you love
Still exist, when you're up above
When I reach out, believe it true
Don't just think, I'm haunting you.

I'm no apparition, I'm not a ghost
Not divine, a blessed host
Nothing more, than a humble home
Raise your children, as my own.

And now you'll find,
A builder paid in kind,
Hearing a final plea,
Rebuild or let me be.

Rafters falling, falling, tumblin'
Chimney's shaking, shaking, crumblin'
Mantle's cracking, cracking, crumblin'
Porch is heaving, heaving and tumblin'

Foundation shuddering, shuddering, cracking
Stairs are dipping, dipping and snapping
Frames are bending, bending, twisting
Walls are swaying, swaying, listing

I feel the pull, of the moon and tide
Finally crossed, that great divide
Was nothing more than a humble home,
Use my lumber, to build your own.
