[Verse 1]

The wind beats the shutters back and forth

While dry leaves dance across the porch

The glow below the mantle

Casting shadows on the walls and silhouettes

Meaning found in silence that few expect

[Chorus 1]

It’s a house with two souls

Touched by fire

And a proverbial heartbeat that they share

While they wait for the breath held in the air

[Verse 2]

The dark room with little clothes and toys

So soon, echoes of a voice

The cold that holds the air still

Left alone beside the painful memories

Waiting for the right time to be seen

[Chorus 2]

It’s a house with two souls

Gone through fire

The loneliness they felt weigh them down

As they fall from the heartbreak that they found

[Bridge]

He said he’ll speak his mind when it’s dark enough

But he was left alone to ponder the reason why

Wonder why he had to give up

Wonder how he’d ever pick up

The pieces that she dropped and left behind

[Chorus 3]

It was a house with two souls

Lost in fire

Before eternity plagued him in his mind

As he waits and the tears fall from closed eyes
