"Come On Up To The House"

I was feeling blue this morning and I called Tom at the Chili Parlor. As I complained to him he started to sing to me  "Come On Up To The House". The words are below, click here and listen to Sarah Jarosz sing it.

"Well the moon is broken

And the sky is cracked

Come on up to the house

The only things that you can see

Is all that you lack

Come on up to the house

All your cryin don't do no good

Come on up to the house

Come down off the cross

We can use the wood

Come on up to the house

Come on up to the house

Come on up to the house

The world is not my home

I'm just a passin thru

Come on up to the house

There's no light in the tunnel

No irons in the fire

Come on up to the house

And your singin lead soprano

In a junkman's choir

You gotta come on up to the house

Does life seem nasty, brutish and short

Come on up to the house

The seas are stormy

And you can't find no port

Come on up to the house

There's nothin in the world

(Chorus)

there's nothin in the world

that you can do

you gotta come on up to the house

and you been whipped by the forces

that are inside you

come on up to the house

well you're high on top

of your mountain of woe

come on up to the house

well you know you should surrender

but you can't let go

you gotta come on up to the house"
