HOUSE OF CARDS

He promised her a homeplace for the family
A rock that they could build their lives upon
He promised they'd entwine their lives forever
But, every time she reaches out, he's gone

There's an empty bed waitin' down the hallway
Tonight she's puttin' out the light alone
Again, she leaves a candle in the window
Without him this house is not a home

House of cards, it was all a house of cards
Built by hand, in better days
House of cards, though, she can barely see him
House of cards, just blow away

It's a shame she wasn't born to follow
She wishes she could hide his dusty boots
She needs someone there that she can lean on
He sow the seed, but never set down roots

House of cards, it was all a house of cards
Built by hand, in better days
House of cards, though, she can barely see him
House of cards, just blow away

House of cards, it was all a house of cards
Built by hand, in better days
House of cards, though, she can barely see him
House of cards, just blow away

House of cards, it was all a house of cards
Built by hand, in better days
House of cards, though, she can barely see him
House of cards, just blow away
