House - Patrick Wolf

Oh, I love this house, I love this house

Gives me the greatest peace I’ve ever known

Oh, I love to hear those conkers fall

Smash 'em on an Southwark stone

And I love that here you live with me

Gives me the greatest peace I’ve ever known

'Cause I’ve been too long a lonely man

Yes, I’ve been too long a rolling stone

So let seasons turn

Grow paradise garden

And to my migration

The native has returned

Oh, I love the curling of your hair

Gives me the greatest peace I’ve ever known

I see Dylan Thomas in your face

Recited Butler Yeats there in your grace

Your grace, your grace

So let seasons turn

Grow paradise garden

And to my migration

The native has returned

Returned

Returned

And if I had to die today

Scatter my ashes on this place

And I live on in your grieving heart

But until that day that we depart

Oh, this is the greatest peace I’ve ever known

Oh, the greatest peace I’ve ever known

Oh, the greatest peace I’ve ever known

Only love makes house a home

Home

Home

Home

This house is home
