Lyrics

Midnight, that old clock
Keeps ticking
The kids are all asleep
And I'm walking the floor
Darlin' I can see
That you're dreaming
And I don't wanna wake you up
When I close the door
This old house of ours
Is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know
What that means
There's a garden outside
She works in every day
And tomorrow morning
A man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away
Lately, I've been thinking
'Bout daddy
And how he always
Made things work
When the chips were down
And I know
I've got something inside me
There's always a light
There to guide me
To what can't be found
This old house of ours
Is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know
What that means
There's a swing outside
The kids play on every day
And tomorrow morning
A man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Remember how we first came
Here together?
Standing on an empty lot
Holding hands
Later, we came back
In the moonlight
And made love
Right where the kitchen is
Then we made our plans
This old house of ours
Is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know
What that means
There's a garden outside
She works in every day
And tomorrow morning
A man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
