Country House Lyrics - Carry The Fire - Delta Rae

In a country house with the windows lit by burning wicks 

And the walls held up by wood and bricks and ghosts that wander through 

An old man died, but the help won't come till Monday next 

And he's gone to meet the architects of the only world he knew 

And he's lonesome 

And the family mourned, at the wake he lay in front of them 

Just as silent as he'd ever been to any young child's eyes 

And by buried skin, they shed their laughter and their tears 

The pain of all those early years where innocence had died

But now they're lonesome 

Memorials that we may build 

They won't the holes forever fill 

There is a deep and aching chill 

That settles in our bones

Did you ever lose someone? 

'Cause we're lonesome
