Lyrics: Grandfather’s House
Album: Unknown
Artist: Brian Eno
 

This house was built by my grandfather’s hand.
Before i was accused of theft.
The boat was sold for eighty thousand pounds.
The work is now at an end.
It is rumour that he’s gone.
It is rumour that he’s gone.

The mountaintops were covered in snow.
Dinner wasn’t served until nine.
The windows were painted three weeks ago
And we closed them one by one.
The work is now at an end.
The work is now at an end.

I played with my children all afternoon.
The plane took off at quarter past three.
In the house that was built by my grandfather’s hand.
I stood accused of theft.
