Foundation

Sitting on a foundation that once held a home
Once held the life of a little girl
No one had known

I see the pictures framed on the wall
A soul's been locked up tight
Look in these eyes and look in this home
I see the history of a broken bone

Hands were wrung so tightly
Fists were clenched in fright
Under the covers I kiss you
And I wish you goodnight

Too many words left said to the walls
Too many voices and no one to call
Too many dreams left sent to the air
Never returning to the one who cares

Hands were wrung so tightly
Fists were clenched in fright
Under the covers I kiss you
And I wish you goodnight

So many windows all covered in pain
So many floors paced and nothing gained
I feel the earth move but time just stands still
In the house of denial on the top of that hill

Hands were wrung so tightly
Fists were clenched in fright
Under the covers I kiss you
And I wish you goodnight

Go to sleep my little darling
Everything will be alright
