lyrics

i’m just trying to build
a house where music lives
where i can live a long, long time for a song
i’ve just gotta believe
that a house where music lives
is worth a damn and worth all the wandering that preceded

i’ll never be long gone
no i’ll never be long gone
but if i should be long gone
i’ll be home soon

i’m just trying to build
a house where music lives
where two can live in sincere care for a song
i’ve just gotta believe
that a house where music lives
is worth a damn and worth all the lonely years that preceded

we’ll never be long gone
no we’ll never be long gone
but if we should be long gone
we’ll be home soon

i’m just trying to build
a house where music lives
where the muse can come and go always knowing she’s got a home
i’ve just gotta believe
that a house where music lives
is worth a damn and worth all the loneliness
and all of the wondering
if i’ve earned
a life i love.
and worth a damn
and worth all the quiet years the preceded

she’ll never be long gone
may she never be long gone
but if she should be long gone
she’ll be home soon
