This House
(Rob Christensen)
I drempt I had a sister, Kate
Who turned sixteen the day I turned eight
I'd laugh as she'd swing me on up to the clouds
And scream as I'd head back down to the ground
Hey sister Kate, where have you gone?
Don't keep me here waiting, awake until dawn
Don't make me face this world all alone
I'm afraid of the strangers inside of my home.
This house wears a happy face
This house looks cozy inside
This house keeps me safe from bad weather
But this house is just filled with lies.
Has anybody seen my brother Jim
It's been a long time since I've heard of him.
I remember us playing when I was three
And then they took him away from me.
From that day on I was an only child
Afraid to take chances, afraid to run wild
My father rules with a logical hand
I respect every word, trust every command.
This house...
Hey there sister Kate, where have you gone...
Hey there brother Jim, where have you gone?
My mother and father are fighting again
It seems she can't have her way with him
Somewhere along he learned how to laugh
It's a gift she can never, ever take back
Come sister Kate, come brother Jim
Come sleep next to me and protect me from them
Keep me from danger and stay out of sight
Listen for footsteps and watch out for lights.
This house...
