Jesca Hoop - The House That Jack Built lyrics

rate me

I carried a bag of rock and stone full of memory

Of our family

Aboard a plane to tulsa

Five years of waiting for his life to end suddenly

Tearing its way through me

All of the way to tulsa

Its not enough

Its not enough

Its not enough

Its not enough

To know you through them

I walked through the door of living room that i do not know

To a couch where he slept alone

In the bone yard of the house that jack built

My brothers were sorting through his fine shoes and fine cologne

Pictures of our childhood home

The glory of the house that jack built

Its not enough

Its not enough

Its not enough

Its not enough

To know you through them

Purple hearts and racing cars and the words for her you wrote

Your deal was raw but you loved us all and we know it note for note

Now they tell us of your life until the end your sister and your best friend

The stories are a revelation

All of a brother and a sailor and an honourable man

A boy driving as fast as he can

To this man i have no relation

Its not enough

Its not enough

Its not enough

Its not enough

To know you through them

Purple hearts and racing cars and the words for her you wrote

Your deal was raw but you loved us all and we know it note for note

Purple hearts and racing cars and the words for her you wrote

Your deal was raw but you loved us pa and we know it note for note.
