This Old House — текст песни (Neil Young)

Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking,

The kids are all asleep and Im walking the floor.

Darlin I can see that youre dreaming,

And I dont wanna wake you up

When I close the door.



This old house of ours is built on dreams

And a businessman dont know what that means.

Theres a garden outside she works in every day

And tomorrow morning a man from the banks

Gonna come and take it all away.



Lately, Ive been thinking bout daddy,

And how he always made things work, when the chips were down,

And I know Ive got something inside me

Theres always a light there to guide me

To what cant be found.



This old house of ours is built on dreams

And a businessman dont know what that means.

Theres a swing outside the kids play on every day

And tomorrow morning a man from the banks

Gonna come and take it all away.



Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.

Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.



Remember how we first came here together?

Standing on an empty lot, holding hands.

Later, we came back in the moonlight

And made love right where the kitchen is,

Then we made our plans.



This old house of ours is built on dreams

And a businessman dont know what that means.

Theres a garden outside she works in every day

And tomorrow morning a man from the banks

Gonna come and take it all away.



Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.

Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
