Mama lies on the couch in her old wedding gown |
| [00:33.910] |
She turned pale long before the carnival had left town |
| [00:38.280] |
|
| [00:38.920] |
She stares at the front porch on the outlook for dad |
| [00:43.430] |
|
| [00:44.500] |
Don't worry, I'll be back in a week is the last thing he said |
| [00:48.310] |
|
| [00:49.600] |
We all knew he gambled in the city and lost |
| [00:53.440] |
|
| [00:54.250] |
Money we didn't have must've be the line that he crossed |
| [00:58.390] |
|
| [00:59.300] |
It's been over a year instead of a week |
| [01:03.590] |
|
| [01:04.160] |
Here in our house, our house by the creek |
| [01:10.260] |
|
| [01:19.500] |
Me and my family live in the Netherlands |
| [01:22.880] |
|
| [01:23.390] |
In the house that he build with his bare hands |
| [01:27.720] |
|
| [01:28.530] |
My younger brother Jimmy is playing outside |
| [01:32.789] |
|
| [01:33.350] |
With his cap gun he tries to shoot planes from the sky |
| [01:38.320] |
In his chair by the window sits uncle Fred |
| [01:43.259] |
Since he's back from the war there ain't a word he has said |
| [01:47.840] |
|
| [01:48.470] |
And Freckles my sister as she passed away sir |
| [01:52.870] |
|
| [01:53.620] |
Sometimes in my dreams I catch up with dad and with her |
| [01:57.900] |
|
| [01:58.900] |
What we end up with is not what we seek |
| [02:02.860] |
|
| [02:03.870] |
Here in our house, our house by the creek |
| [02:09.520] |
|
| [02:28.320] |
My name is Louis, it's Louis, all right |
| [02:32.160] |
|
| [02:32.780] |
I play dad's old accordion all day and all night |
| [02:37.180] |
|
| [02:37.860] |
I just turned eleven, so I'm still a kid |
| [02:42.400] |
|
| [02:42.810] |
But when I grow up I wanna find out what daddy did |
| [02:47.900] |
Mister believe me, I was thought not to cry |
| [02:47.900] |
|
| [02:52.650] |
And that family should stay together 'till the day that you die |
| [02:57.220] |
|
| [02:57.740] |
Yeah mister believe me, I was thought boys don't cry |
| [03:02.610] |
And that the town where you're born is the town where youll die |
| [03:07.680] |
That the town where you're born is where youll probably die |
| [03:11.980] |
|
| [03:46.579] |
What did God wanna show when He created man weak |
| [03:51.480] |
|
| [03:52.360] |
We don't understand in our house by the creek |
