Lucy Kaplansky - Somebody's Home lyrics

rate me

written by Lucy Kaplansky

It's raining in my house tonight

Roof's leaking everywhere

It's overflowing buckets

And pouring down the stairs

Taking spins around the hallway

Then rambling out the door

Out across the highway

And down the empty pier

Then deep into the river

The water it does fall

I hear the river rising

As I listen through my wall

And everytime it rains

And every time I cry

It's just another current

In that river flowing by

Somebody's home

Though you ache and feel alone

Someone you've always known

Somebody's home

There's a fire in my house tonight

It's climbing up the stairs

It's tearing thru my photographs

And choking off the air

And now the walls are burning too

And the roof is crashing in

And finally there's only flames

Where once my house had been

As embers fall the flame take off

In spirals to the sky

Then turn into the blazing stars

That thru the heavens fly

And though I mourn my own four walls

I try to understand

I can see my wooden house

In the ashes in my hand

Somebody's home

Though you ache and feel alone

Someone you've always known

Somebody's home

Somebody's home

Though you ache and feel alone

Someone you've always known

Somebody's home
