Country House Lyrics by Delta Rae

Carry the Fire

2012

[Verse 1]
In a country house with the windows lit by burning wicks
And the walls held up by wood and bricks
And ghosts that wander through
An old man died, but the help won’t come 'til Monday next
And he’s gone to meet the architects of the only world he knew
[Chorus]
And he’s lonesome
Yes, he's lonesome
[Verse 2]
And the family mourned, at the wake, he lay in front of them
Just as silent as he’d ever been to any young child’s eyes
And by buried skin, they shed their laughter and their tears
The pain of all those early years where innocence had died
[Chorus]
But now they’re lonesome
Yes, they're lonesome
[Bridge]
Memorials that we may build
They won’t the holes forever fill
There is a deep and aching chill
That settles in our bones
In our bones
[Chorus]
'Cause we’re lonesome
Yes, we're lonesome
[Outro]
Yes, we're lonesome (Did you ever love somebody? Did you ever lose someone?)
(Did you ever love somebody? Did you ever lose someone?)
Yes, we're lonesome (Did you ever love somebody? Did you ever lose someone?)
(Did you ever love somebody? Did you ever lose someone?)
Yes, we're lonesome (Did you ever love somebody? Did you ever lose someone?)
(Did you ever love somebody? Did you ever lose someone?)
Yes, we're lonesome (Did you ever love somebody? Did you ever lose someone?)
(Did you ever love somebody? Did you ever lose someone?)
Yes, we're lonesome (Did you ever love somebody? Did you ever lose someone?)
Yes, we're lonesome
In a country house with the windows all lit up
