Hold This House Up Lyrics

I wasn't awake to notice the rain

I wasn't awake

Until I saw you kneeling in the mud

I added the cost, I gathered the rope

I sounded the bell

But oh, the damage had already been done

I know it's late, I know it's late

But I think it's not too late

To get our hands dirty

And act like it's worth being saved

So will you help me hold this house up

Will you help me hold this house up

Will you help me hold this house up

And let the waters pass beneath

You want to let go, let it go on

You haven't the heart

For one more disappointing turn of events

But look at the stone under our feet

Still in its place

And I think that these old bones could stand a chance

I know it's hard, I know it's hard

But I think it's not too hard

To fix it together

Maybe stronger than ever before

Will you help me hold this house up

Will you help me hold this house up

Will you help me hold this house up

And let the waters pass beneath

Oh (Let the waters pass beneath)

Oh (Let the waters pass beneath)

Oh (Let the waters pass beneath)

Oh

Will you help me hold this house up

Will you help me hold this house up

Will you help me hold this house up

And let the waters pass beneath

Will you help me hold this house up

Will you help me hold this house up

Will you help me hold this house up

And let the waters pass beneath

Will you help me hold this house up

And let the waters pass beneath
