Crosby Stills Nash and Young-Our House lyrics

by Graham Nash  
    
  I`ll light the fire  
  You put the flowers in the vase  
  That you bought today  
    
  Staring at the fire  
  For hours and hours  
  While I listen to you   
  Play your love songs  
  All night long for me  
  Only for me  
    
  Come to me now  
  And rest your  
 head for just five minutes  
  Everything is good  
  Such a cosy room  
  The windows are illuminated  
  By the sunshine through them   
  Fiery gems for you  
  Only for you  
    
  Our house is  
 a very, very fine house  
  With two cats in the yard  
  Life used to be so hard  
  Now everything is easy  
  `Cause of you  
  And our la,la,la, la,la etc  
    
  And our   
    
  I`ll light the fire  
  And you place  
 the flowers in the jar  
  That you bought today  
    
  4 plus 20  
  by Stephen Stills,  
    
  4 plus 20 years ago  
  I come into this life  
  The song of a woman  
  And a man who lived in strife  
  He was tired of being poor  
  And he wasn`t  
 into selling door to door  
  And he worked like  
 the devil to be more  
    
  A different kind of  
 poverty now upsets my soul  
  Night after sleepless night  
  I walk the floor  
 and I want to know  
  Why am I so alone?  
  Where is my woman  
 can I bring her home?  
  Have I driven her away?  
  Is she gone?  
    
  Morning comes to sunrise  
  And I`m driven to my bed  
  I see that it is empty   
  And there`s devils in my head  
  I embrace the many colored beast  
  I grow weary of the torment  
  Can there be no peace?  
  And I find myself just  
 wishing that my life would simply cease.
