This is not the house that pain built Song Lyrics
This is not the house that pain built by Dar Williams
You can visit sometime, down where all that I built surrounds meÂ
Just make sure your car's got good shocksÂ
There's steep hills, there's potholes, there's rocksÂ
I work in the garden, my son plays around meÂ
Close the gate behind you, there's a horse that can't get outÂ
I will see you first, is that all rightÂ
And can you remember, can you rememberÂ
This is not the house that pain builtÂ
This is not the house that pain builtÂ
I was drowning in something, I jumped in the riftÂ
And you knew me back then, when I spat on my gift, but noÂ
It's tough and it's tiring when you go it aloneÂ
I learned about wiring, I learned about stoneÂ
The building is done but the work's never throughÂ
And I won't give up, no how, it reminds me of who I am and where I am nowÂ
I remember myself, that's the work that I doÂ
On a spring night when the snow is meltingÂ
You'll see two sets of footprints walkingÂ
Look at all the stars, and turn around, and walk home,Â
Slowly walk home.Â
This is not the house that pain builtÂ
That is not a house that pain builtÂ
My friends all think that I holed up and hidÂ
But I tell them I didn't, you know I don't think I did, no.Â
And this is where I let my pain goÂ
This is where I let my pain goÂ
This is where the footprints dance in the snow
