Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking The kids are all asleep and Im walking the floor Darlin I can see that youre dreaming And I dont wanna wake you up when I close the door This old house of ours is built on dreams And a businessman dont know what that means Theres a garden outside she works in every day And tomorrow morning a man from the banks Gonna come and take it all away Lately, Ive been thinking bout daddy And how he always made things work When the chips were down And I know Ive got something inside me Theres always a light there to guide me To what cant be found This old house of ours is built on dreams And a businessman dont know what that means Theres a swing outside the kids play on every day And tomorrow morning a man from the banks Gonna come and take it all away Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away Take it all away, take it all away, 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 built on dreams And a businessman dont know what that means Theres a garden outside she works in every day And tomorrow morning a man from the banks Gonna come and take it all away Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away
