Daniel Amos
Earth Household
[Verse 1]
Sleeping by the hearth of the earth household
Content and relaxed before the fire of life
It's becoming like a castle all woven of mist
Disintegrating when I wanna grab a hold

[Chorus 1]
Struggle to go somewhere beyond
The earth household, the earth household
Go to the other, unknowable side
Of the earth household, the earth household

[Verse 2]
We chase with the hounds for the meaning of the world
The unattainable meaning of the world
Now I'm gonna run to the other side
Beyond the borderland of death I ride

[Chorus 2]
Slip through a tear in the fabric of the world
The earth household, the earth household
Speak the foreign language of a place beyond
The earth household, the earth household

[Verse 3]
I drink you endlessly toward my hollow heart
And wake at night repeating "How strange, how strange"
All is touch and vision in a passionate kiss
And life's a drab curtain ready to be raised

[Chorus 1]
Struggle to go somewhere beyond
The earth household, the earth household
Go to the other, unknowable side
Of the earth household, the earth household
Earth household
The earth household

[Outro]
We chase with the hounds for the meaning of the world
