Verse 1.
I love this house
I built this house
We raised our children here
The walls have shared the tumult
In the passing of the years
But we lost it all last Saturday
In the crackle and the roar
Our home consumed
Escaping
All we had was what we wore

CHORUS
Our little street
The blackened wrecks
Here one moment
Gone the next
Our little house
There’s nothing left
Here one moment
Gone the next

CHOURUS

Verse 2.
We saw the news from Kinglake
And felt our blood run cold
Marysville and Heathcote Junction’s
Ashen heart and soul
Precious big and little lives
Townships torn apart
Tears fell in the cinders
From a million broken hearts…

CHORUS
Our little street
The blackened wrecks
Here one moment
Gone the next
Our little town
There’s nothing left
Here one moment
Gone the next
Our little town
There’s nothing left
Here one moment
Gone the next
