Bilingual
You were a boy
She was your bride
Brought her down to your house by the riverside
You took her hand
Nervous of course
Opened up the front door
Said what's mine is yours
Now the walls hang with tapestries welcoming home
And the faded-out photographs when you were young
This old house
Where you're gonna stay 'til the day that you're gone
This old house
Down by the water where your father was born
Wallpaper's patched
And the door's never latched
Cos you've never used a key to
This old house
At the edge of the sea
Years have flashed by
Like cars on a train
And after a while they all look the same
Traces of her
Linger on still
Say you'll give up her things but you never will
And the carpet your grandmother made for your wedding
And the faces of people you're close to forgetting
This old house
Where you're gonna stay 'til the day that you're gone
This old house
Down by the water where your father was born
Wallpaper's patched
And the door's never latched
Cos you've never used a key to
This old house
At the edge of the sea
And the shoreline's changed
The cliffs that erode, rearranging themselves
And where does it go
When all of that land leaves the shore
But this old house
Somehow still standing through sun and through storm
This old house
But who will remain there
The day that you're gone
This old house
Where you're gonna stay 'til the day that you're gone
This old house
Down by the water where your father was born
Wallpaper's patched
And the door's never latched
Cos you've never used a key to
This old house
At the edge of the sea
This old house
At the edge of the sea
