To Build a Home - Hattie Briggs
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
Now it's time
To leave and turn
To dust
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's 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
Held on as tightly as you held onto me
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 dust
