Somebody's Home

Written by Lucy Kaplansky It's raining in my house tonight Roof's leaking everywhere It's overflowing buckets And pouring down the stairs Taking spins around the hallway Then rambling out the door Out across the highway And down the empty pier Then deep into the river The water it does fall I hear the river rising As I listen through my wall And everytime it rains And every time I cry It's just another current In that river flowing by Somebody's home Though you ache and feel alone Someone you've always known Somebody's home There's a fire in my house tonight It's climbing up the stairs It's tearing thru my photographs And choking off the air And now the walls are burning too And the roof is crashing in And finally there's only flames Where once my house had been As embers fall the flame take off In spirals to the sky Then turn into the blazing stars That thru the heavens fly And though I mourn my own four walls I try to understand I can see my wooden house In the ashes in my hand Somebody's home Though you ache and feel alone Someone you've always known Somebody's home Somebody's home Though you ache and feel alone Someone you've always known Somebody's home
