Somebody's Home Lyrics

Lucy Kaplansky Somebody's Home

It's raining in my house tonight
Roof's leaking everywhere
It's overflowing buckets
And pouring down the stairs

Taking spins around the hallway
Then rambling out the door
Out across the highway
And down the empty pier

Then deep into the river
The water it does fall
I hear the river rising
As I listen through my wall

And every time it rains
And every time I cry
It's just another current
In that river flowing by

Somebody's home
Though you ache and feel alone
Someone you've always known
Somebody's home

There's a fire in my house tonight
It's climbing up the stairs
It's tearing through my photographs
And choking off the air

And now the walls are burning too
And the roof is crashing in
And finally there's only flames
Where once my house had been

As embers fall the flame take off
In spirals to the sky
Then turn into the blazing stars
That through the heavens fly

And though I mourn my own four walls
I try to understand
I can see my wooden house
In the ashes in my hand

Somebody's home
Though you ache and feel alone
Someone you've always known
Somebody's home

Somebody's home
Though you ache and feel alone
Someone you've always known
Somebody's home

Somebody's home
Somebody's home
Somebody's home
Somebody's home
Somebody's home
Somebody's home
Somebody's home
Somebody's home
