This Old House
Written By: Chelsea Madrigal and Nathaniel Kilcer

I’ve hung around this old house too long old friend
Dusted off the shelves and replaced the nails with love
Built windows where there needed light
Each one thrown open towards the sky
Now days the sun just won’t shine

The foundation has broken this time
Walls have crumbled there’s nowhere left to hide
Even our garden offers no peace
For you and I

It’s getting dark we’ve done the best we could do
We kept fixing the cracks but the rain pushed right on through
This last flood washed illusion away
This old house only sings the blues these days

These hand these hopes they choose to lie
Damage is all that’s left behind
Our garden’s grown wild despite you and i
Take one last look at the swollen sky
Hold to it’s promise of love’s final cry
Take shelter in memory of the stars tonight
