Words and Music by Rick Mester

[Verse]

Like the hail storm raining down
We are beaten and we are bound
Breathe the rain until I’m drowned
And my soul has run aground
It’s just a little pain
It lets you know that you still live
Disappointment is the same
And it’s all I have to give

[Chorus]

Poor houses from the earth
Poor houses from the earth
Wrapped in skin and set adrift
Poor houses from the earth

[Verse]

Nothing short of God on earth
Can save us from this still birth
In the silence before time
I was Yours and now I’m mine
I bought my soul with emptiness
Falling sands in an hourglass
And the secrets in the windy gale
Of what lies beyond the veil

[Chorus]

Poor houses from the earth
Poor houses from the earth
Wrapped in skin and set adrift
Poor houses from the earth
