Bruce Robison - House of man

Somewhere in the dark tonight
Two hearts are beating fast
Lying still in the arms of love
Waves of passion pass
They love each other with all their might
Can't help but be afraid
Gotta go stand in the house of man
To tell them that it's ok

This house was built by man
I saw 'em mix the mortar
This house was built by a man
I saw 'em tyin' steel
This house was built by man
Out of concrete and water
This house was built by the hand of a man

Somewhere in the dark tonight
A new heart's beatin' fast
Lying still in the arms of love
Tiny fingers grasp
That sweet little baby has heard not a word
About original sin
As fast as you can to the house of man
So Peter can let him on in

This house was built by man
I saw 'em mix the mortar
This house was built by a man
I saw 'em tyin' steel
This house was built by man
Out of concrete and water
This house was built by the hand of a man

Somewhere in the dark tonight
An old heart's fadin' fast
These damn things they were meant to love
They weren't meant to last
But now I'm dyin' but I spent my life tryin'
To do the best I can
I'll only be fine if I spent enough time
Sittin' in the house of man

This house was built by man
I saw 'em mix the mortar
This house was built by a man
I saw 'em tyin' steel
This house was built by man
Out of concrete and water
This house was built by the hand of a man

This house was built by the hand of a man
