Il testo della House on the corner

There's a house on the corner
Lives a man who went to war
And it tries to give him shelter
From the pain of what he saw

There's a child out the window
Painting faces in the snow
And they smile a sad reminder
Of a life he used to know

There's a house on the corner
Lives a man with empty eyes
For his heart has been broken
For he was sold a pack of lies

And he said
Hold me closer you know i can't

Hold me closer but you don't understand
Hold me closer open your heart
Hold me closer i'm so alone
Hold me closer oh, you'll never know
Hold me closer open your heart

For he fought for his country
Now he fights to clear his name
For the dead are always heroes
And the living live in shame

And he said
Hold me closer you know i can't
Hold me closer but you don't understand
Hold me closer open your heart
Hold me closer i'm so alone
Hold me closer oh, you'll never know
Hold me closer open your heart
