Lyrics

A House of Cards
“Hold me tight don’t let me go, Is there something I should know?”
Parents whisper in the dark
Of a betrayal of the heart

“Mummy why are you so sad? did you fall gain, why is Daddy mad?”
The shouting gets louder, he blocks the pain
Drowns it with the rhythm of the rain

He closes his eyes too young to know
Of events that unfold
A house of cards shortly to fall
So much sadness for one so small

“Don’t hold me tight, please let me go
Is this something Mummy should know?”
A father’s love should hold no bounds
Except a love built on quicksand

She closes her eyes wishing he would go
“Our little secret no-one will know”
A house of cards shortly to fall
So much sadness for one so small

“Hold me tight don’t let me go, Hold me tight don’t let me go”
