Indigo Girls Make This House A Home
"Make This House a Home" is a song by Amy Ray and Michelle Malone, from early 1987. Make This House a Home. Well, there's something in us living There's something you should know There was a time for us to fall Now it's time to grow But you know it's not the way That I intended it to be Crossing hearts and killing souls And trying to get down to what's real All I ever wanted was to make this house a home I let go of sinking sand - won't you help me find a stone? All I ever wanted All I ever wanted All I ever wanted All I ever wanted All I ever wanted Was to make this house a home All I needed was your hand to hold I spent so much time alone I needed your direction But we re-aligned my broken bones Well, they're running from a lifeless state Somehow we lost our hold All we have with us is change Left over from what started out as gold All I ever wanted was to make this house a home I let go of sinking sand - won't you help me find a stone? All I ever wanted All I ever wanted All I ever wanted All I ever wanted All I ever wanted Was to make this house a home This is what I give to you It's flesh and blood It's body and soul Won't you take what's left of who I am And try to see it whole? I'm holding you responsible for every word I say If you feel the brokenness Won't you try and look the other way I never meant to be so low I only wanted you to see That time was healing someone else But it's tearing apart the very heart of me This is what I give to you It's flesh and blood It's body and soul Won't you take what's left of who I am And try to see it whole? All I ever wanted was to make this house a home I let go of sinking sand - won't you help me find a stone? All I ever wanted All I ever wanted All I ever wanted All I ever wanted All I ever wanted Was to make this house a home So make this house a home make this house a home make this house a home...
