The Railway House Lyrics
There's a house
By the rails that I know
In a valley
Of
It's own
With trains and bones
And birds in the yard
Where the wild
Nettles
Grow
Growing over the door
Growing up through the walls
Growing up
Growing over
A treasure to be told
So wave goodbye
To living alone
I think
We've found
Our home
Let’s paint these walls
And pull up the weeds
And cast
Our fevers
In stone
Growing out of the drugs
Growing up through the night
Growing up
Growing older
With treasure to be told
I see us growing old
I watch us growing old
Together, together
Together
By the rails that I know
In a valley
Of
It's own
And birds in the yard
Where the wild
Nettles
Grow
Growing up through the walls
Growing up
Growing over
A treasure to be told
To living alone
I think
We've found
Our home
And pull up the weeds
And cast
Our fevers
In stone
Growing up through the night
Growing up
Growing older
With treasure to be told
I watch us growing old
Together, together
Together

This is an absolutely gorgeous song. To me, it's not only a song about the lovers, but the house, wherein the people in the song have a story that will soon replace the story of the house that they're settling into, one that's been caught in time long enough that its tale has been forgotten under the nettles...
It's just beautiful, that the two people mature together, leaving behind their old vices, even though it means giving up childhood vices and freedoms.
Just wonderful.
it's about a run-down house in london found by patrick and his friend ingrid z, who put on an installation at her art gallery (the residence) combining the works of many artists to recreate the railwayhouse
i love this love song!
Coule really only one person have commented on this song? its a really really unique song and I love it. I always thought that the lyrics were about two people in love that think their life was going to be perfect "i see us growing old together" but as always, peoples lives dont turn out the way they think it would be. I see that line as maybe a foreshadowing- something will happen to one of them to make them not be able to grow old together..
or maybe i look to much into things
absolute favourite song right now. so gorgeous.
I thought this song was about a couple getting married, and moving to a new house together... and although they are excited about the future, they are also upset over leaving behind their past... and perhaps freedom, in a sense - since they are now committed to one partner...
This song is bloody brilliant!
What I get from this song: A couple finding a small house by a railway, making it their own, and growing old together, both in maturity and in age.
