A House

After all it came to be
I had some doubts after we
Laid the foundations on a waste ground
So we had to start anew
It took some time but now we’ve found
A place where we could hear the sound
From deep inside our heads, welcoming us
A home for me and you
You smiled but I could see your pain
I left the plans out in the rain
The print got smeared and now we don’t know
Where the stove’s supposed to be
Winter is so early this year
It’s getting colder and I fear
We won’t be moving in in time for Christmas
— No Santa, no tree
It’s all down to something
It’s all down to one thing
This love you’re giving me now
Oh yeah
It’s all down to something
It’s all down to one thing
This love I’m giving you now
Oh yeah
Two rooms got finished just in time
We’ll have no kitchen for a while
But microwave will do for now
The radiation’s just a myth
It’s looking good although the birds
Seem to have feasted on two thirds
Of this year’s harvest
There’s one left for each of us
Thanks, Granny Smith
This house will stay here after us
It’s all down to something
It’s all down to one thing
This love you’re giving me now
Oh yeah
It’s all down to something
It’s all down to one thing
This love I’m giving you now
Oh yeah
It’s been some time, we’ve settled down
A few things still missing but we’ve found
Some things will never find their ways
But that’s just how they should stay
I’m ironing clothes and looking out
The window to the yard, a sound
Escapes my lips, it’s funny how
We came to be like us today
