Dar Williams - This Is Not The House That Pain Built lyrics

Your rating:


My house is hard to find, but I'll give you directions, 

You can visit sometime, down where all that I built surrounds me 

Just make sure your car's got good shocks 

There's steep hills, there's potholes, there's rocks 

I work in the garden, my son plays around me 

Close the gate behind you, there's a horse that can't get out 

I will see you first, is that all right 

And can you remember, can you remember 



This is not the house that pain built 

This is not the house that pain built 

I was drowning in something, I jumped in the rift 

And you knew me back then, when I spat on my gift, but no 



It's tough and it's tiring when you go it alone 

I learned about wiring, I learned about stone 

The building is done but the work's never through 

And I won't give up, no how, it reminds me of who I am and where I am now 

I remember myself, that's the work that I do 

On a spring night when the snow is melting 

You'll see two sets of footprints walking 

Look at all the stars, and turn around, and walk home, 

Slowly walk home. 



This is not the house that pain built 

That is not a house that pain ubilt 

My friends all think that I holed up and hid 

But I tell them I didn't, you know I don't think I did, no. 



And this is where I let my pain go 

This is where I let my pain go 

This is where the footprints dance in the snow
