Houses Sing - Danny Schmidt

[00:00.01]Houses Sing - Danny Schmidt
[00:21.15]There’s signs in all the yards with a price tag and a plea
[00:28.13]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[00:31.98]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[00:37.85]And I can see my daughter swinging in the shade of every tree
[00:45.28]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[00:49.03]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[00:55.17]And I can move a mountain when the mountain moves in me
[01:02.33]And I can hear them houses sing I can hear them houses sing
[01:12.03]Every building tells a story every builder holds a pen
[01:19.24]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[01:23.04]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[01:29.05]They only tell beginnings they’re yours to tell the end
[01:36.47]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[01:40.259995]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[01:46.44]And I can move a mountain when the mountain moves in me
[01:53.86]And I can hear them houses sing I can hear them houses sing
[02:03.51]If there’s limestone ‘neath the pylons that’s stone enough for me
[02:11.05]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[02:14.94]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[02:20.7]Cause I’m cracked in all the places I expect my steps should be
[02:28.54001]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[02:32.42]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[02:38.49]They sing like tired children they just sing the things they know
[02:45.8]Then they sink into your arms until your dreams become their own
[02:53.45999]But the only thing that stands between the houses and the homes
[03:01.31]Is a mountain top an old steel pail and thirty years of stones
[03:11.08]So all you quarrymen and miners you family men and friends
[03:18.62]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[03:22.54001]I can hear them houses sing
[03:28.11]I’m here to move a mountain I’m here to make a man
[03:36.07]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[03:40.12]I can hear them houses sing
[03:46.29001]Cause I can move a mountain when the mountain moves in me
[03:53.65]And I can hear them houses sing
[03:57.59]Can’t you hear them houses sing
[04:01.67]And I can hear them houses sing
[04:05.59]Can’t you hear them houses sing
