[Verse 1]
I read a book
About conversation and you
I listen to
Stories that intrude on my heart again

[Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh) This is my house
(Oh, oh, oh) Welcome is here
(Oh, oh, oh) This is my house
(Oh, oh, oh) Welcome to me

[Verse 2]
My picture of your face
Will disappear with time
Patience in eyes
That say occupied
Quite peculiar

[Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh) This is my house
(Oh, oh, oh) Welcome is here
(Oh, oh, oh) This is my house
(Oh, oh, oh) Welcome to me
