A house beneath the coconut sky
Where stars will blink and questions lie
The river sings the night is still
And love returns against its will
The porch light flickers after rain
Inside no hate no space for plain
Three shadows dancing in one frame
One daughter two hearts she names
The smell of smoke the warmth the rice
Simple joys no need for price
She combs her hair and hums her song
Where she belongs she's always strong
And though the world may pull her far
Her soul remains just where they are
The home that taught her how to feel
Still standing strong still soft and real
The house by the river knows my name
Through wind and rain it stays the same
It sheltered dreams that kept me whole
A haven carved into my soul
The path may not and time may call
But I'll be here through it all
She calls him tia with tender grace
Still sees the light upon his face
And when she said the word mellow
She bridged the years she made him proud
Though love can twist and drift apart
It always finds the truest heart
This house may creep this roof may leave
But it has held each living seed
Between the rain and morning fire
She walks the floor of strong desire
To give them both the peace they seek
And love them strong and love them weak
The house by the river holds my days
Entangled thoughts in something haze
No castle no palace made of stone
But in its walls I'm not alone
Whatever comes whatever leaves
This is the place my soul believes
The house by the river forever home home
