V1
Taking pictures off the walls
Making claims on bits of jewelry
And books and knick-knacks from the shelves
Feels like any minute
She’ll just walk in through the door
Of this place she loved so well
For now we laugh and cry
Sometimes together
Other times by ourselves
CH1
Mom’s house was more than bricks and wood
We came for refuge
When we needed to and could
And now it’s like we’re taking it apart
To find her home was always in our hearts

We put it on the market
And I stopped by the other day
To see it all fixed up for the sale
It was shiny and perfect
But it wasn't the same
I guess moving on is a part of the deal
CH2
Mom’s house was more than bricks and wood
We came for refuge
When we needed to and could
And now it’s like it’s all coming apart
But still her home was always in our hearts
BR
Driving by I see a family living there
Hope they feel the love we knew
Still lingering in the air
CH3
Mom’s house was more than bricks and wood
We came for refuge
When we needed to and could
Now while we may be far apart
We will keep her home in our hearts
We will keep her home in our hearts
