Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu House by the Stream Oleh Dave Gunning

INTRO: C F C F C

He never worried when a day would end
He’d just watch the cars drive by
Sitting in the twilight of his life, he felt a friend
To the highway running just outside

The porch was his rest stop, he was born inside
If he caught your eye, he’d wave and smile
And I wondered if he knew me from the last time I passed by
A thought that stayed with me for another mile

CHORUS:
And no one stopped only halfway there
The old house down by the stream
But halfway there was home to him
He settled in his worn out easy chair
To sit awhile and smile while he dreamed
In his house by the stream

INTERLUDE: C F C F C

Those days on the farm had long disappeared
But his dad’s last words, he’d hold onto
While waving at the highway, a life driving past each day
But a smile might have dried a tear

CHORUS:
And no one stopped only halfway there
The old house down by the stream
But halfway there was home to him
He settled in his worn out easy chair
To sit awhile and smile while he dreamed
In his house by the stream

INSTRUMENTAL: C Am G Am F C Dm C F G C

The trees went first, then gravel trucks rolled in
A four lane took shape a mile away
Too far to see the highway, life’s road dark and empty
A new road opened on this closing day

CHORUS:
And no one stopped only halfway there
The old house down by the stream
But halfway there was home to him
He settled in his worn out easy chair
To sit awhile and smile while he dreamed
In his house by the stream

OUTRO:
But no longer does he dream
In his house by the stream
