To Build a Home

There is a house
built out of stone
Wooden floors
walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn
by all of the dust
This is a place
where I don't feel alone
This is a place
where i feel at home
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now
it's time to leave
and turn to dust
Out in the garden
where we planted the seeds
There is a tree
that's old as me
Branches were sewn
by the color of green
Ground had arose
and passed its knees
By the cracks of the skin
I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree
to see the world
When the gusts came around
to blow me down
I held on as tightly
as you held onto me
I held on as tightly
as you held onto me
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now
it's time to leave
and turn to dus
