Lyrics
A House of Hopes and Dreams
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Across the floor lie broken bowls of pride
Unlatch the door and scratch holes in the night
She'll be there someday, tides turn, winds change
You know, oh you know
A house of hopes and dreams I built one too
Drunk on gypsy violins like you
Ran naked through the flames and burnt like you
Unbuttoned times when two laid down as one
Eyes on eyes where catherine wheels spun
Now every stale day is a haywire highway
Alone, so alone
A house of hopes and dreams I built one too
Danced upon the tables just like you
Swam the sea of dreams and drowned like you
The cave of tears you choked and almost cried
Emotions horse's roped and staked inside
Never could show her but somehow hoped to know her
Again, again, again to build
A house of hopes and dreams upon
A pack of painted cards
To build a house of hopes and dreams
With bricks of loaded dice
To build a house of hopes and dreams
With roulette wheels for stairs
To build a house of hopes and dreams
Secured and bound with love
With love, with love, with love, with love
Build strong and sure with love
