Our House
Crosby. Stills. Nash & Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll light the fire, you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me

Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes, everything is good
Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated by the evening
Sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you
Our house is a very, very fine house with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,
Now everything is easy 'cause of you and our la, la, la...

Our house is a very, very fine house with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,
Now everything is easy 'cause of you and our





I'll light the fire, while you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today

Lyrics:
I'll light the fire
You place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today
Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me
Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is done
Such a cozy room
The windows are illuminated
By the evening
Sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you
Our house
Is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy 'cause of you
And our
La-la-lala-la-la-la-lala-la-la-lala-lala-la-lalalala-la-la-la-lalalala-la-la-la-la-lala-la-la-lala-la-la-lala-la-la-la-lala-la-la-lala-la
Our house
Is a very, very, very, fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy 'cause of you
And our
I'll light the fire
While you place the flowers in the vase
that you bought today

ENJOY! :)

I'll light the fire
You place the flowers in the vase

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me

The windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you, only for you
Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
