Look at this old house, nothing on the walls But I know it's good I know that it won't fall Yes, the winds may blow, but it won't go down Because this house is sacred, that light won't go out No This foundation will never crumble, because it's made out of bricks and stone No, these walls will never tumble These rooms are growing old And though sand blows away, and the landslide is closing in We built this atop a mountain, where the darkness will never win Look at these old rooms All the floors are bare All the trim's undone And the curtains tear Dirt upon the rug, and the windowsills And all the mirrors are smudged, so I can't see myself But that all changed the day she came in She washed these walls and picked up again and again She took my mess and made it clean She took what's dead and made it seem living to me She made it living to me She made it living for her and me Look at this old house Well, doesn't it shine All the walls are painted The floors are swept up fine I look within myself And what's the first thing I see Well, won't you know This old house is me
