old house (remastered) - gerald potts lyrics

[verse 1]
look at this old house
nothing on the walls
but i know it’s good
i know that it won’t fall
yes, the winds may blow
but it won’t go down
because this house is sacred
that light won’t go out, no

[chorus 1]
this foundation will never crumble
because it’s made out of bricks and stone
no, these walls will never tumble
these rooms are growing old
and though sand blows away
and the landslide is closing in
we built this atop a mountain
where the darkness will never win

[verse 2]
look at these old rooms
all the floors are bare
all the trims undone
and the curtains tear
dirt upon the rug
and the windowsills
and all the mirrors are smudged
so i can’t see myself
[chorus 2]
but that all changed the day she came in
she washed these walls, and picked up again and again
she took my mess, and made it clean
she took what’s dead and made it seem living to me
she made it living to me
she made it living for her and me

[verse 3]
look at this old house
well, doesn’t it shine?
all the walls are painted
the floors are swept up fine
i look within myself
and what’s the first thing i see?
well, won’t you know?
this old house is me
