Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home
[Verse 2]
And I built a home for you, for me
Until it disappeared from me, from you
And now it's time to leave and turn to dust
[Verse 3]
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed its knees
[Verse 4]
By the cracks of its skin, I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gust came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held on to me
I held on as tightly as you held on to  me
[Verse 5]
And I built a home for you, for me
Until it disappeared from me, from you
And now it's time to leave and turn to dust
