about

This song was born one afternoon when Dan Hazlett and I sat down to attempt a co-wrote. I think we did pretty well for our first attempt.

lyrics

Persian rug worn thin,
faded by the sun.
Photos on the wall,
those who’ve come and gone.
Laughing voices, gentle words.
A room in my house.

Billy loves Sue
carved into a desk.
Living in fear
I’d be called on next.
Passing notes, love or love me not.
Another room in my house.

In this house these rooms
keep my memories safe,
keep them where I know they’ll be,
my house of memories.

Some rooms are always dark
and seen by no one else.
I don’t go in there very much myself.

Brick by brick,
this house is coming down.
Some rooms I knew
look unfamiliar now.
I know the faces, names I can’t recall.
A room in my house.

In this house these rooms
keep my memories safe,
keep them where I know they’ll be
In this house these rooms
It’s all that I have left
Keepsakes of what used to be
My house of memories
