Ellis Paul - Home lyrics

That night the walls were speaking The pipes inside them, creaking Told the secret that was rising in the halls And you lay beside me sleeping With the dreams that you were keeping The smoke was in the stairwell outside the wall We had moved in just November The first night, remember We lit a candle Laid a mattress on the floor And we toasted to our savings To adulthood To behaving To this house with drafty windows Creaking doors (chorus) Home Is the woman across the table Home Is dreaming in my sheets Home Home This house is just an address You're my home So we stood like statues staring While the sirens came in blaring The Johnsons brought us coffee For the cold And somewhere I heard some singing It was my radio alarm clock ringing With a wakeup call singing to my soul (chorus) I can't believe I'm thanking Jesus As I watch my roof come down But I can put back all the pieces As long as you're around (chorus)
