This House

In this home I built for you
Empty as it stands
Once it shown a shining new
Crowning the empty land
The shutters cast a distant beam
A shimmering glow of light
But you haven't been round in years it seems
I still drive by every night
(Till then)
I'll stand waiting at the door
Too tired to listen anymore
If you were to walk in right now
I'd pull the curtains down
Watch the English ivy grow
And slowly take control
A memory many years ago
Reduced to rock and soil
Welcome home
I missed you here
I always knew
You'd reappear
And when you're ready to jump back in
We can build a home again
(Till then)
I'll stand waiting at the door
Too tired to listen anymore
If you were to walk in right now
(I'd roll the window down)
