Mary Chapin Carpenter - House of Cards [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
I grew up in a house like this
You knew the groan of every stair
All the walls seemed to listen in
All the years seemed to take up air
When you dreamed it was of the wind
Blowing cold and hard
In those dreams you thought
You lived in a house of cards
And I grew up in a town like this
You knew the names of every street
On the surface it looked so safe
But it was perilous underneath
That's the place where you shoved
Your doubts and hid your ugly scars
God forbid if word got out
About your house of cards
And now I feel the wind about to blow
Baby I'm so scared
We're repeating the past
Instead of letting it go
And I don't want to go back there
Now we're standing here face to face
Afraid to move or else
I want to prop up this fragile place
But I can't do it all by myself
Because when we dream it's of the wind
Blowing cold and hard
When we wake up we still live
In a house of cards
When we dream it's of the wind
Blowing cold and hard
When we wake up we still live in a house of cards
