Sara Groves This House lyrics

It took me by surprise
This old house and these old feelings
Walked 'round and looked inside
Familiar walls and halls and ceilings

Where I'd dream and plan every moment of sunshine
This was my whole world, it was all I knew
Like the hull of a seed
This old house cracked wide open as I grew

Hadn't given it much thought
Hadn't been back here for a while
Everything looks so small
Seen through the memories of a child


Who would dream and stare from that second story window
That was my whole world, it was all I knew
Like the hull of a seed
This old house cracked wide open and I flew

Sad, fruitful, broken, true
Sad, fruitful, broken, true

Memories for miles and miles
Summers, falls, winters and springs
Ruby, you take it in
See he's withheld no good thing
