Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking
The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor
Darling, I can see that you're dreaming
And I don't want to wake you up when I close the door

This old house of ours is build on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow-morning a man from the bank's gonna come
And take it all away

Remember how we first came here together
Standing on an empty lot, holding hands
Later we came back in the moonlight
And made love right where the kitchen is, then we made our plans

This old house of ours is build on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means
There's a swing outside the kids play on every day
And tomorrow-morning a man from the bank's gonna come
And take it all away
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away

Lately I've been thinking 'bout daddy
And how he always made things work, when the chips were down
And I know I got something inside me,
There's always a light there to guide me
To what can't be done

This old house of ours is build on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow-morning a man from the bank's gonna come
And take it all away
