Lyrics
Well we were tempted by forbidden fruit
As they lied they smiled and smiling slyly hid the truth
I know that we were greedy and easily led
But the wolves are always hungry and they're wanting to be fed
We're living in a house of straw, wild winds are blowing
So hold me close don't let me go
We're living in a house of straw, wild winds are blowing
So hold me close don't let me go
They'd leave us ruined as those those went before
And their heavy threats are pushing up against our door
But there's one thing I have left that's guaranteed and true
It's my love, it's my love for you
We're living in a house of straw, wild winds are blowing
So hold me close don't let me go
We're living in a house of straw, wild winds are blowing
So hold me close don't let me go
Now they've come to take what I thought I owned
Never realised, it was only just a loan
This is such a cruel world and I don't know what to do
But I could lose all that I have as long as I kept you
We're living in a house of straw, wild winds are blowing
So hold me close don't let me go
We're living in a house of straw, wild winds are blowing
So hold me close don't let me go
