Jeff Healey - House That Love Built Lyrics

The bar was filled with smoke and lies
I couldn't see a thing, it burned my eyes
I pushed a strange woman off my lap
She had a snake tattooed on her back

The doors opened into the night
The silence kissed my worried life
I heard a song comin' from the back
It played over and over again

I stood just around the bend, over the hill
Across the river bed, one step closer to hell, closer to hill
If I forget about my past, forget about my guilt
I go back to the house that love built, that love built
That love built, that love built, yes, that love built

I went back to the bar again
And headed straight for the band
I need to remember not to forget
All the life and the love we had

So play that song that made it right
Get me out of this lonely night
Slapped all my money into his hand
And said, "Play it over and over again"

I stood just around the bend, over the hill
Across the river bed, one step closer to hell
That was the back door
If I forget about my past, forget about my guilt
I go back to the house that love built, that love built
That love built, that love built, that love built

Let me come inside, baby
Let me come inside into the house that love built
That love built, the house that love built
The house that love built, yes [Incomprehensible]
