Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking
The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor
Darlin' I can see that you're dreaming
And I don't wanna wake you up when I close the door

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away

Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy
And how he always made things work
When the chips were down
And I know I've got something inside me
There's always a light there to guide me
To what can't be found

This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means
There's a swing outside the kids play on every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away

Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away
