Make This House A Home lyrics

Make This House a Home` is a song by Amy Ray and Michelle Malone,
from early 1987.

Make This House a Home.

Well, there`s something in us living

There`s something you should know
There was a time for us to fall
Now it`s time to grow
But you know it`s not the way
That I intended it to be
Crossing hearts and killing souls
And trying to get down to what`s real

All I ever wanted was to make this house a home
I let go of sinking sand - won`t you help me find a stone?
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was to make this house a home

All I needed was your hand to hold
I spent so much time alone
I needed your direction
But we re-aligned my broken bones
Well, they`re running from a lifeless state
Somehow we lost our hold
All we have with us is change
Left over from what started out as gold

All I ever wanted was to make this house a home
I let go of sinking sand - won`t you help me find a stone?
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was to make this house a home

This is what I give to you
It`s flesh and blood
It`s body and soul
Won`t you take what`s left of who I am
And try to see it whole?

I`m holding you responsible for every word I say
If you feel the brokenness
Won`t you try and look the other way
I never meant to be so low
I only wanted you to see
That time was healing someone else
But it`s tearing apart the very heart of me

This is what I give to you
It`s flesh and blood
It`s body and soul
Won`t you take what`s left of who I am
And try to see it whole?

All I ever wanted was to make this house a home
I let go of sinking sand - won`t you help me find a stone?
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was to make this house a home
So make this house a home
make this house a home
make this house a home
