"When I Build My Beautiful House" lyrics

Bruce Springsteen Lyrics

"When I Build My Beautiful House"

When I build my beautiful house
I'll build it high, high above this road
This road I walk, in shadow and doubt
There I'll build my beautiful house

When I build my beautiful house
I'll build it high on that rocky hill
Where pain and memory have been stilled
There I'll build my beautiful house

Down here below, baby, nothing lasts
Love and great stone mansions turn to dust and ash
Past all this, I walk along
Somethin' stronger than my own children movin' me on

I walk with a hammer and a fiery lantern
With this, I build, and with this, I burn
These things I carry on my dark road
And so it goes, and so it goes

When I build my beautiful house
I'll build it high on that rocky hill
Where pain and memory have been stilled
There I'll build my beautiful house
