When you come home to the home you have known
Everything's gone and you're all alone
And you don't know what to do
The windows close, it's an empty hall
There's only ghosts when you come to call
The lights turn down so you turn around
The house is black, the house is black
The house is black, the house is black
Your love is a wall I defend
Your love my only defense
I've written a note that I came to burn
I took in the dark with wide open eyes
I took what I could and left the rest
My lonely road came a-winding up
I climb a fence and I broke the walls
The wind was fierce but the tears fell down
The house is black, the house is black
The house is black, the house is black
Your love is a wall and a fence
Your love is my only defense
Your love is a wall and a fence
Your love is a wall and a fence
Your love is a wall and a fence
Your love is my only defense
