That Old House

 

That old house

 

Just up the road

 

Oh how does it happen

 

Where did the time go

 

It was full of history

 

Sweat and blood

 

 

 

The mud brick and laid by hand still stands

 

In that house there are memories of children laughing

 

Of question that only grandmothers understand

 

All of the time and love

 

There is hardly anything left of it

 

Just memories that hold all of us

 

 

 

That old house

 

Just up the road

 

Oh how does it happen

 

Where did the time go

 

It was full of history

 

Sweat and blood

 

I miss that old house

 

It was my home

 

And every day that passes I wonder

 

If today it will fall

 

Back to the ground

 

Now I’m afraid to look

 

Today will it fall

 

I’m afraid to look at all
