The Seekers — House of Cards

[Verse 1] He promised her a homeplace for the family A rock that they could build their lives upon He promised they’d entwine their lives forever But, every time she reaches out, he’s gone [Verse 2] There’s an empty bed waitin’ down the hallway Tonight she’s puttin’ out the light alone Again, she leaves a candle in the window Without him this house is not a home [Chorus] House of cards, it was all a house of cards Built by hand, in better days House of cards, though, she can barely see him House of cards, just blow away [Verse 3] It's a shame she wasn’t born to follow She wishes she could hide his dusty boots She needs someone there that she can lean on He sow the seed, but never set down roots [Chorus] House of cards, it was all a house of cards Built by hand, in better days House of cards, though, she can barely see him House of cards, just blow away House of cards, it was all a house of cards Built by hand, in better days House of cards, though, she can barely see him House of cards, just blow away House of cards, it was all a house of cards Built by hand, in better days House of cards, though, she can barely see him House of cards, just blow away
