This Old House

[Verse 1]

Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking

The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor

Darlin' I can see that you're dreaming

And I don't wanna wake you up when I close the door

[Chorus]

This old house of ours is built on dreams

And a businessman don't know what that means

There's a garden outside she works in every day

And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's

Gonna come and take it all away

[Verse 2]

Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy

And how he always made things work

When the chips were down

And I know I've got something inside me

There's always a light there to guide me

To what can't be found

[Chorus]

This old house of ours is built on dreams

And a businessman don't know what that means

There's a swing outside the kids play on every day

And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's

Gonna come and take it all away

[Post-Chorus]

Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away

Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Remember how we first came here together?

Standing on an empty lot, holding hands

Later, we came back in the moonlight

And made love right where the kitchen is

Then we made our plans

[Chorus]

This old house of ours is built on dreams

And a businessman don't know what that means

There's a garden outside she works in every day

And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's

Gonna come and take it all away

[Post-Chorus]

Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away

Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away
