Lyrics
The house hasn't changed much
The ivy still climbs
The roof like a patchwork
That's seen better times
The hall has a silence
I just don't recall
And shadows where photographs
Hung on the wall
Home is where the heart is
Lingers like a dream
Deep in these foundations
We survive, so it seems
Dancing in the shadows
Footsteps in the air
Here in the dust there are memories
I push back the years
As I push back that door
To where we made sweet music
I hear it once more
And I hold back the tears
So that you will not see
Just how much the ghosts in this house
Haunt me
Home is where the heart is
Lingers like a dream
Deep in these foundations
We survive, so it seems
Dancing in the shadows
Footsteps in the air
Here in the dust there are memories
I close my eyes and I see your face
As I close the door on this magical place
Home is where the heart is
Lingers like a dream
Here in the dust there are memories
We are here
