Blue House

I’ve lived in the blue house For all of my life First as a daughter And then as a wife I’ve tried to leave it Drive and drive I come back every time I’ve lived in the blue house For all of my days Eyes on the water As the leaves change I’ve tried to leave it Bought tickets, boarded planes I always return to this place They say you can’t ever really break through ‘Til you lock the door behind you But I’ve lived in the blue house since I was a girl I’ve never known any other world I’ve lived in the blue house Since I was small Never did get over what happened down the hall The cupboards and corners I live in them all This blue house will be my downfall They say you can’t ever get over the wrong ‘Til you let what’s gone truly be gone But I’ve lived in the blue house since I was a girl I’ve never known any other world I’ve lived in the blue house For all of my life First as a daughter And then as a wife I’ve tried to leave it Drive and drive I come back every time I come back every time I come back every time
