about

This song was written by my aunt Anneli Janssens. Jasmin Frederickson joins me on vocals.

lyrics

This rickety house
walls so torn
secrets fill rooms
with ghosts forlorn

Past may haunt
and carry great pain
Theres a thick heavy fog
thats surrounded by blame

This rickety house
needs some work
This rickety house
where ghosts lurk

Those lukewarm moonbeams, barely feed your soul
Dark shadows hover, stumbling to the shore
You long for the light, your heart to revive
Seek shelter by stars, until morning rise

Tears seep through
windows of the soul
walls stand strong
until emotions take toll

ghosts are set free
healing winds blow
floors are swept clean
time is on loan

Let healing begin, let it come from within
Let healing begin, let sunshine in
This rickety house has been fixed
This old house, this rickety house.
