When you come home to the home you have known Everything's gone and you're all alone And you don't know what to do The windows close, it's an empty hall There's only ghosts when you come to call The lights turn down so you turn around The house is black, the house is black The house is black, the house is black Your love is a wall I defend Your love my only defense I've written a note that I came to burn I took in the dark with wide open eyes I took what I could and left the rest My lonely road came a-winding up I climb a fence and I broke the walls The wind was fierce but the tears fell down The house is black, the house is black The house is black, the house is black Your love is a wall and a fence Your love is my only defense Your love is a wall and a fence Your love is a wall and a fence Your love is a wall and a fence Your love is my only defense
