Roger Hodgson - House On The Corner Lyrics
There's a house on the corner, lives a man who went to warAnd it tries to give him shelter from the pain of what he sawThere's a child out the window painting faces in the snowAnd they smile a sad reminder of a life he used to knowThere's a house on the corner, lives a man with empty eyesFor his heart has been broken for he was sold a pack of liesHold me closer (you know I can't)Hold me closer (but you don't understand)Hold me closer, open your heartHold me closer (I'm so alone)Hold me closer (Oh you'll never know)Hold me closer, open your heartFor he fought for his country, now he fights to clear his nameFor the dead are always heroes and the living live in shameAnd he saidHold me closer (you know I can't)Hold me closer (but you don't understand)Hold me closer, open your heartHold me closer (I'm so alone)Hold me closer (Oh you'll never know)Hold me closer, open your heart
