The House We Carried

プロンプト

Acoustic, indie, raw, Glen Hansard **The House We Carried** **Verse 1** There are wolves beneath the city And crows along the wire The moon has lost its patience The river swallowed fire The windows blink like little gods Above a sleeping street And everyone is building walls Around their frightened feet I saw a thousand paper ships Set sail into the night Each one carrying a different name Each one claiming they were right **Chorus** But you were there beside me Like a candle in a storm And suddenly the coldest night Remembered how to warm We had no map to follow No country we could name Just two hearts in the ruins Protecting a small flame And maybe home was never A place beneath the sun Maybe home was something Two lost people become **Verse 2** The gardens grew more silent The birds forgot their songs The trees stood like old witnesses To all that we had done And somewhere in the distance A tower learned to fall While men were drawing borders On a world that had no walls The sea kept sending messages In bottles made of bone But no one had the time to read What we had always known **Chorus** But you were there beside me With your hands around the light And for a little moment We made peace with the night We had no grand salvation No answer carved in stone Just a tenderness between us That made the darkness known And maybe home was never A roof above our heads Maybe home was every promise We refused to leave for dead **Bridge** So let the kingdoms burn their maps Let the prophets curse the rain Let the machines count every breath And call the suffering gain We will keep a place for mercy We will leave the door unchained We will speak the names of creatures Who were here before we came And when the world goes mad again As worlds so often do I'll gather all the broken things And build a home with you **Final Chorus** You were there beside me When the stars began to drown When the sky became a question And the earth gave way beneath the town We had nothing but our choices Nothing but our word Nothing but the fragile truth That love is still absurd But I'll take your hand through every age Through every flood and flame For the world may lose its way a thousand times We don't have to lose our names **Outro** And somewhere underneath the noise Where no one thinks to look There is a house we're carrying Built from every vow we took No walls, no flag, no kingdom No border, lock or key Just a little room inside the heart Where you can still find me
