House of Mine

House of mine

With flickering lights of gold

How the air around you make you twinkle, makes you whole

House of mine

Offering sleepless nights

And dreamy dreams

Coins thrown on my window along with first flower’s bloom

House of mine

Fights with him, equal of mine, father of mine

House of mine

Left you for future, for love

Hoping for adventure

House of mine

I should have been there

Father of mine, gone long ago

Underneath your light

I wasn’t there

Brother gone to his future

Sisters left alone

House of mine

Sisters leaving one by one

Stepping out onto unknown

House of mine

Furniture sold

Dishes, paintings given away

Mama with brother who never loved me anyway

House of mine

Twinkling bright

One by one, lights go out in the night

Soon another story will begin underneath your embrace

Fare thee well, house of mine
