Hold This House Against the
You buttoned your coat by the kitchen light The children were asleep; I kept my voice polite Your coffee cooled beside the door I watched your shadow cross the floor Now little shoes wait by the bed I braid their hair and mind what’s said I smile at every neighbor’s call And keep the storm behind the wall Come home to us, come home again I’ll hold this house against the wind I gave my word; I’ll see it through The door stays open here for you I tell the children, “He’ll be near” And let my brave face hide the fear Come home alive, come home to me We’ll make tomorrow what it needs to be At school, I wave with lipstick bright I laugh at jokes and say I’m fine Then fold your letters, smooth each crease And teach our little ones your laugh The washing turns, the days move on I set your place when supper’s done No one can read the weather there Behind the welcome that I wear Come home to us, come home again I’ll hold this house against the wind I gave my word; I’ll see it through The door stays open here for you I tell the children, “He’ll be near” And let my brave face hide the fear Come home alive, come home to me We’ll make tomorrow what it needs to be Some nights the quiet shakes the glass I count the hours, let them pass Your photograph beneath my hand I say your name; I make my stand Come home to us, come home again I’ll hold this house against the wind I gave my word; I’ll see it through The door stays open here for you I tell the children, “He’ll be near” And let my brave face hide the fear Come home alive, come home to me We’ll make tomorrow what it needs to be The kettle sings, the porch light stays I’ll meet you smiling when you find your way

Текст песни
[Куплет 1] You buttoned your coat by the kitchen light The children were asleep; I kept my voice polite Your coffee cooled beside the door I watched your shadow cross the floor [Предприпев] Now little shoes wait by the bed I braid their hair and mind what’s said I smile at every neighbor’s call And keep the storm behind the wall [Припев] Come home to us, come home again I’ll hold this house against the wind I gave my word; I’ll see it through The door stays open here for you I tell the children, “He’ll be near” And let my brave face hide the fear Come home alive, come home to me We’ll make tomorrow what it needs to be [Куплет 2] At school, I wave with lipstick bright I laugh at jokes and say I’m fine Then fold your letters, smooth each crease And teach our little ones your laugh [Предприпев] The washing turns, the days move on I set your place when supper’s done No one can read the weather there Behind the welcome that I wear [Припев] Come home to us, come home again I’ll hold this house against the wind I gave my word; I’ll see it through The door stays open here for you I tell the children, “He’ll be near” And let my brave face hide the fear Come home alive, come home to me We’ll make tomorrow what it needs to be [Бридж] Some nights the quiet shakes the glass I count the hours, let them pass Your photograph beneath my hand I say your name; I make my stand [Финальный припев] Come home to us, come home again I’ll hold this house against the wind I gave my word; I’ll see it through The door stays open here for you I tell the children, “He’ll be near” And let my brave face hide the fear Come home alive, come home to me We’ll make tomorrow what it needs to be [Аутро] The kettle sings, the porch light stays I’ll meet you smiling when you find your way
