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 dont 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 didnt 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 weve gone to and I find Im 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. Its 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: theres 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 |
