House Of Wood

You built you a house of wood, yeah

A wood house, yeah

Where love once stood

Though the time you spent together

Was very short

Then like a giant hand

Came gale winds from the north, yeah

And just blew your house away

And left your skies a grey

As you thought of yesterday, yeah

Gone, gone house of wood, yeah, Lord

So you built you a house of stone

You know it tore ya

And scarred your bones

You can't help be overwhelmed with joy

'Cause once again, once again you saw life

Through the eyes of a baby boy

Until the one night rain began

Turned your little stone house to sand

There you stood, there you stood all alone, yeah

Gone, gone house of stone, oh yeah

Sometimes I think I know you

How you feel

So they built you a box of wood

And planted it deep where love once stood

Though the wind and rain still blowin' hard

You won't mind 'cause

You feel no pain at all, yeah

Though you see the Sun no more

You have rest in peace for sure

As I kinda close the door, yeah

To your good, good, yeah, good

(Good box of wood)

Box a wood

Now, now a house of wood

Grandpa, grandpa

(Good, good box of wood)

Ain't no need to worry, yeah

I hear the chariots

Swingin' over, yeah

Here they come

(Good, good box of wood

Good box of wood)

To carry you home
