[00:00.00]House Of Cards (Album) - Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:08.48]I grew up in a house like this
[00:12.54]You knew the groan of every stair
[00:15.48]All the walls seemed to listen in
[00:18.98]All the years seemed to take up air
[00:22.72]And when you dreamed it was of the wind blowing cold and hard
[00:29.60]And in those dreams you thought you lived in a house of cards
[00:41.97]And I grew up in a town like this
[00:45.84]You knew the names of every street
[00:48.91]On the surface it looked so safe
[00:52.59]But it was perilous underneath
[00:55.97]Thats the place where you shoved your doubts
[00:59.66]And hid your ugly scars
[01:03.09]God forbid if word got out about your house of cards
[01:12.16]And now I feel the wind about to blow
[01:16.09]Baby I'm so scared
[01:19.10]Were repeating the past instead of letting it go
[01:23.09]And I don't want to go back there
[02:03.29]Now were standing here face to face
[02:06.72]Afraid to move or else
[02:10.09]I want to prop up this fragile place
[02:13.60]But I can't do it all by myself
[02:17.22]Cause when we dream its of the wind blowing cold and hard
[02:24.16]And when we wake up we still live in a house of cards
[02:31.16]When we dream its of the wind blowing cold and hard
[02:38.28]And when we wake up we still live in a house of cards
