There's a house that sits up high Its panes reflect the darkening sky A date sits proud above the door But no one lives there anymore It briefly was a happy home A piece of mountain all their own In summer each room bathed with light In winter fires would warm the night Inch by inch, stone by stone Built by strength of human hands Those that built it are long gone Love and loss hit hard but still it stands He built their home up from the ground She made a garden all around One year on a baby boy Became their greatest ever joy 1914 came too soon Faces fell as news broke through His friends signed up but he stayed on He could not leave his wife and son Inch by inch, stone by stone Built by strength of human hands Those that built it are long gone Love and loss hit hard but still it stands He said he did not want to fight In two years he had lost that right In fear he clung onto his gun But could not shoot nor could he run So he never did come home She couldn't manage on her own The date sits proud above the door But no one lives there anymore Inch by inch, stone by stone Built by strength of human hands Those that built it are long gone Love and loss hit hard but still it stands
