Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice
Tables of paper wood, windows of light
And everything emptying into white
[Verse 2]
A simple garden with acres of sky
A brown-haired dogmouse, if one dropped by
Yellow Delanie would sleep well at night
With everything emptyin' into white
[Verse 3]
A sad blue-eyed drummer rehearses outside
A black spider dancing on top of his eye
Red-legged chicken stands ready to strike
And everything emptyin' into white
[Verse 4]
I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice
And everything emptying into white
Written by: Yusuf Islam
