Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young This Old House lyrics

Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking
The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor
Darlin', I can see that you're dreaming
And I don't wanna wake you up when I close the door

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means
There's a garden outside she works in everyday
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away

Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy
And how he always made things work when the chips were down
And I know I got something inside me
There's always a light there to guide me to what can't be found

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means
There's a swing outside the kids play on everyday
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away


Take it all away, take it all away
Take it all away, take it all away
Take it all away, take it all away

Remember how we first came here together?
Standing on an empty lot, holding hands
Later we came back in the moonlight
And made love right where the kitchen is then we made our plans

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means
There's a garden outside she works in everyday
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away

Take it all away, take it all away
Take it all away, take it all away
Take it all away, take it all away
