Tony Norwell Miscellaneous That Big Old House That Big Old House That big old house we lived in was no country mansion grand; Without much to commend it � it was even built on sand! The roof leaked, the floors squeaked, the walls were always wet; In winter we were always cold � we don�t miss it much and yet� Chorus: It was home � it was our home. It was the place that we came back to when we needed time alone. We had all it took between us and a lot more too, besides � To make it there together � and turn a house into a home. That big old house we lived in was not made for luxury � But then we didn�t need it � what we wanted most was free. We had us and that was good enough to see us gently through; Now I wonder where we�ve gone to and I find I�m missing you. That big old house we lived in had a garden with a slope! We planted all we could each year and then lived and loved in hope. And just like what was between us � it grew in time quite well. And if anything will grow again � only time alone will tell! That big old house we lived in is still standing stark and still. It�s empty now of people and perhaps it never will See within its walls again what we had when alone � Which was much more than was needed � to turn a house into a home! Autumn 1997: That big old house is gone now: there�s nothing left to see � Now a stretch of road runs through right where it used to be; The place our loving meant so much and made two brand new souls � And instead of you and me, my love, just traffic rocks and rolls� |
