The Hermit Tree — Indifference House lyrics

Lyrics

This house reeks of indifference
With its dirty floor and a sagging fence
We played a while, we danced our dance
These crooked walls don’t stand a chance
This old house, it’s a-tumblin' down
Colonies of dust march around and 'round
Sleep in the chair, beneath your frown
Oh, how you sit, you don’t hear a sound
I tried to keep the wooden door from weathering
I fought to keep the heavy rains from pouring in
I locked every window, every entry, but I lost oh,
The grey oak tree, now it stands alone
With its broken limbs and a somber tone
The yard is brown and overgrown
The house is guardin' the tree alone
I tried to keep the wooden door from weathering
I fought to keep the heavy rains from pouring in
I locked every window, every entry, but I lost oh,
I tried to keep the wooden door from weathering
I fought to keep the heavy rains from pouring in
I locked every window, every entry, but I lost oh,
I tried to keep the wooden door from weathering
I fought to keep the heavy rains from pouring in
I locked every window, every entry, but I lost oh,
