lyrics

This house of mine
Holds a century of secrets
One hundred years of history
Laid testament to bear
Within these walls
And underneath my feet
One hundreds years here standing
One hundred more to meet

This house of mine
Is the place where I grew
My playground and my fortress
Where I first met you
Nestled in the green
In the shadows of the leaves
Halfway along the avenue
Between the old oak trees

This house of mine
Was standing here before me
One hundred years of mystery
And memories to share
The trinkets shining
With sentimental meaning
Hidden in a box
Underneath the stair

This house of mine
Is the place where I grew
A sanctuary for generations
Home to old and new
Nestled in the green
In the shadows of the leaves
Halfway along the avenue
Between the old oak trees

Lead

This house of mine
Is standing cold and empty now
One hundred years of history
Awaits one hundred new
Faded paint and weathered brick
As seasons come and go
One hundred years here standing
A lifetime passing through

This house of mine
Is the place where I grew
I see it from my window now
Standing just in view
Nestled in the green
In the shadows of the leaves
Halfway along the avenue
Between the old oak trees

This house of mine
Is the place where I grew
My playground and my fortress
Where I first met you
Nestled in the green
In the shadows of the leaves
Halfway along the avenue
Between the old oak trees
