lyrics

House of Love.

Music and Lyrics by Thom Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2010.

Please, don’t go,
Never wave goodbye to me,

I’ll give you what you want,
I’ll give you what you need,

Maybe she will be the one,
Maybe she will be the one,

Be the one who brings you back,
The one who gives you what you lost.

***

Here with me, by the wall of Portland stone,
You can speak, and know that I’ll hear every word,

Every word you say, and believe in everything,
Until you’re gone away.

***

Here, here it is,
Here, here is where it is,

Here in this house of love,
Here in the morning sun,
Here when night has come,
Here and never gone,

Here for all to see,
Here for you and me,
Ain’t nothing more you need,
If loves the only thing.

Loves the only thing.

***

In your eyes, they still come to me,
When I close mine, and heavens in the darkest place,

Well I always see you there,
At the start and at the end,
As my lover and my friend.

Will I always see you there?
And the start and end?
My lover and my friend?

***

Here, here it is,
Here, here is where it is,

Here in this house of love,
Here in the morning sun,
Here and never gone,
Here when night has come,

Here for all to see,
Here for you and me,
There’s nothing more you need,
When love’s the lonely thing.

Loves the only thing.
