THIS OLD HOUSE (Neil Young) Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor Darlin' I can see that you're dreaming And I don't wanna wake you up when I close the door This old house of ours is built on dreams And a businessman don't know what that means There's a garden outside she works in every day And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's Gonna come and take it all away Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy And how he always made things work When the chips were down And I know I've got something inside me There's always a light there to guide me To what can't be found This old house of ours is built on dreams And a businessman don't know what that means There's a garden outside she works in every day And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's Gonna come and take it all away Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away Remember how we first came here together? Standing on an empty lot, holding hands Later, we came back in the moonlight And made love right where the kitchen is Then we made our plans This old house of ours is built on dreams And a businessman don't know what that means There's a garden outside she works in every day And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's Gonna come and take it all away Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young "American Dream" 1988 |
