A House With

[Verse 1]

I wanted

To have a house

Full of bird life

So I went out and bought feeders

Bags of seed

Hooks and chains

And hung them all around the yard

Just outside of every window

[Bridge 1]

Cardinals

Sparrows

Goldfinch

Juncos

Flickers

Waxwings

Titmouse

Buntings

[Refrain]

Filling up my heart again

Filling up my heart again

[Verse 2]

I wanted to have a house

Full of plant life

So I went out

Bought planters

Starts and seeds

And bags of soil

And put them out in every room

In the corners of the light

[Interlude]

[Refrain]

Filling up my heart again

Filling up my heart again

[Verse 3]

I wanted to have a house

Full of life and meaning

But everything is wild and fleeting

It comes and goes

Repeating
