Hai Hai (1987)
House on the Corner
There's a house on
the corner, lives a
man who went to war
And it tries to give
him shelter, from the
pain of what he saw
There's a child out
the window, painting
faces in the snow
And they smile, a sad
reminder, of a life
he used to know
There's a house on
the corner, lives a
man with empty eyes
For his heart has
been broken, for he
was sold a pack of
lies
Oh, he said, hold me, closer (You
know I can't)
Hold me, closer (But
you don't
understand)
Hold me, closer, open
your heart
Hold me, closer (I'm
so alone)
Hold me, closer (Oh,
you'll never know)
Hold me, closer, open
your heart
For he fought for
his country, now he
fights to clear his
name
For the dead are
always heroes, and
the living live in
shame
Oh, he said, hold me, closer (You
know I can't)
Hold me, closer (But
you don't
understand)
Hold me, closer, open
your heart
Hold me, closer (Oh I'm
so alone)
Hold me, closer (Oh
you'll never know)
Hold me, closer, open
your heart
