Steve Apirana - Can See Your House from Here lyrics

Artist: Steve Apirana

album: This Wretched Man


I can see your house from here
The windows and the walls from here
The colours that were chosen
To cover the place where you live
I can see your house from here
The bricks and the mortar from here
A warm little haven, is quite the impression it gives
Yes, I can see the care that you've taken
So neat and so clean
To satisfy each passerby that nothing is amiss
But I can see your house from here
I can see your room from here
Your privacy and rest from here
Your photographs and memories
And ribbons and trophies and letters and things
I can see your room from here
The brightness and the gloom from here
The secrets and ambitions and plans
And worries that they bring
Yes, I can see your moves and your struggles
Your whispers and pleas
The thoughts and the deeds you hoped no other eyes could see
But I can see your room from here
Every friend or invader that came to your door
Every act good or evil they came to you for
Every lure of temptation you tried to ignore
Every voice of conviction running hard in your head
Every word of resistance that were all left unsaid
Every cry of despair as you lay on your bed
As you judged your behaviour and denied your regret
And despised your intention now beholding the debt
As you brace for the beast that will swallow you yet
Now the price to be paid without any dispute
For the eyes that grew dim in the days of your youth
For the mind that let in only notions to suit
For creation cries out for justice and truth
And there stands the accuser presenting the proof
But judgment will turn upon one simple truth
That I can see your heart from here
