aReverie - Old House Lyrics

By a window I wait
You stand here so true
With boxes all packed
You've always seen us through
And you'll likely still stand
Long after I'm gone
Your walls to protect and
Help someone else along

If I could pick up your foundation
Every brick
It's what I'd do
Every nail and every board I'd
Hammer back
To stay with you
To stay with you

Like a widow you wait
Just passing her time
Long past your maker
Ode to creators' hands
Your floors wearing thin
With gaps wide and far
It took lots of work but
I loved you as you are

If I could pick up your foundation
Every brick
It's what I'd do
Every nail and every board I'd
Hammer back
To stay with you
To stay with you
