Paper House
I built a house high on a hill,
I built a house, built it quite still
Use it on days when you feel need
Paper house stay paper house stay.
This gift exists if you accept
This gift exists will it be kept
Daughter I'm yours, flesh blood and still
I can't show warmth paper house will.
You give me great comfort
Although your not born
She'll sing and dance
And he'll be a surgeon
You'll give me great comfort
Although your not born
She'll sing and dance
And he'll be a surgeon
And I'll spend my last days alone
And abroad
Oh! Independence
There's a garden at the bottom.
There's a garden at the bottom.
There's a garden at the bottom.
I built a house, built it quite still
Use it on days when you feel need
Paper house stay paper house stay.
This gift exists if you accept
This gift exists will it be kept
Daughter I'm yours, flesh blood and still
I can't show warmth paper house will.
You give me great comfort
Although your not born
She'll sing and dance
And he'll be a surgeon
You'll give me great comfort
Although your not born
She'll sing and dance
And he'll be a surgeon
And I'll spend my last days alone
And abroad
Oh! Independence
There's a garden at the bottom.
There's a garden at the bottom.
There's a garden at the bottom.
