lyrics
My House Is Orange
by Paul Gerard
My house is orange – and the door is blue
Everyone is welcome here – and darling, so are you
The windowsill is painted – blue to match the door
And through the glass I see a world – I’ve never seen before
And I’ll live in this house all my life
The chimney leans a little, but the fireplace is warm
Nights are not so lonely now…
The streets outside are cobblestone – and wind their way along
They find themselves at my front door – and ask me for a song
The curtains catch the morning light – and hold it for awhile
And when they have to let it go – they hate to say ‘goodbye’
And I’ll live in this house all my life.
The chimney leans a little, but the fireplace is warm
Nights are not so lonely now…
Instrumental verse…
The chimney leans a little, but the fireplace is warm
Nights are not so lonely now…
My house is orange – and the door is blue
