There's a house on the corner
|
Lives a man who went to war
|
And it tries to give him shelter
|
From the pain of what he saw
|
|
There's a child out the window
|
Painting faces in the snow
|
And they smile a sad reminder
|
Of a life he used to know
|
|
There's a house on the corner
|
Lives a man with empty eyes
|
For his heart has been broken
|
For he was sold a pack of lies
|
|
And he said
|
Hold me closer You know I can't
|
Hold me closer But you don't understand
|
Hold me closer Open your heart
|
Hold me closer I'm so alone
|
Hold me closer Oh, you'll never know
|
Hold me closer Open your heart
|
|
For he fought for his country
|
Now he fights to clear his name
|
For the dead are always heroes
|
And the living live in shame
|
|
And he said
|
Hold me closer You know I can't
|
Hold me closer But you don't understand
|
Hold me closer Open your heart
|
Hold me closer I'm so alone
|
Hold me closer Oh, you'll never know
|
Hold me closer Open your heart
|
