Fragile Home

from In The Skin Of A Man by Tony Farris

/

lyrics

This house of cards will keep tumbling down
When the wind blows or there's a shaking in the ground
And when there ain't no faces or suits show
Just grab them all and throw them straight out the door

(Chorus)
It's a goodbye to this fragile home
And it's about time I build my house on stone

Now you wouldn't build a mansion in the sky
For what would hold when the clouds vanish from your sight
And when the floors all break out down beneath
Lord, when you're headed down, you know there ain't no damn retreat

(Chorus)

Oh now get me out
Get me out from the cold
Oh now get me down
Get me down to the floor
Down where I may stand
Lord, just get me back to bare land

Now it's just the work for me, Just the work and the time
Lord, just a few more bricks, Just a few more lines
Then I may have a house built on land
And I may once again have the grounds on which to stand

(Chorus)
