Cat Stevens Lyrics

I built my house
From barley rice.
Green pepper walls
And water ice.
Tables of paper wood,
Windows of light
And everything emptyin'
Into white.

A simple garden,
With acres of sky.
A brown-haired dogmouse
If one dropped by.
Yellow Delanie
Would sleep well at night
With everything emptying
Into white.

Ooh..

A sad blue-eyed drummer
Rehearses outside;
A black spider dancin'
On top of his eye.
Red legged chicken
Stands ready to strike
And everything emptying
Into white.

I built my house
From barley rice.
Green pepper walls
And water ice
And everything emptyin'
Into white.
