1. I love this house
I built this house
We raised our children here
The walls have shared the tumult
In the passing of the years
But we lost it all last Saturday
In the crackle and the roar
Our home consumed
Escaping
All we had was what we wore

Chorus
Our little street
The blackened wrecks
Here one moment
Gone the next
Our little house
There's nothing left
Here one moment
Gone the next

2. No policy or insurance deal
Could properly replace
The memories and love
That we had tied up in this place
The markings on the door-frames
All we've done and all we've known
It takes months to build a house
It takes a life to build a home

Chorus
