about

Sometimes a house is more a tomb than a home...

Words and Music Copyright©2018 by Peter Tutak

lyrics

House in the mirror, house that I never called ‘home’
House in the mirror, place where I found myself alone
Set on the hillside, looking at sky never blue
Set with a garden, scented by flowers I never grew

Cheap little fireplace, trussed in a Christmas display
Sweet little love songs never again to see the day
Home for the hopeful, rooms where we planned out our life
House in the mirror, house where I’d land high and dry

Caught in the spotlight, everyone asking what went wrong
Deer in the headlights, deaf to the warning and horn
Sold on a future, bound in a dream not to fly
House in the mirror, house where that dream came to die.
