lyrics

In the orange room the bearded man and his wife sleep
With brown flowers creeping up the paper walls like weeds
Breath is held in waiting for the baby in her womb
He won’t grow up lonely for another will come soon

In the eating room the blue table stands prepared
There’d be porridge dripping down the lino walls if no one cared
A five person meal without much room for anymore
A year goes by and now the lonely table’s set for four

In the cartoon room the borrowed brothers share a bunk
While spider-man crawls up the painted wall like a drunk
The window swings wide open under glow of blue moonlight
By morn its clear to see the two young boys have taken flight

In the healing house our burdens fall, drop and plunge
And every wall soaks up another year like a sponge
There’s always time and space for brother, parent, son and spouse
To tend out wounds and soothe our burns in the healing house
