This song is about grounding yourself, and moving on from being a “rolling stone”, or a restless person seeking adventures left and right. Love brings the greatest peace, and contempt, and without it, we wouldn’t have a place to call “home”; somewhere where we can always go when times are rough, or...
Oh I love this house, I love this house
Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known
Oh I love to hear those conkers fall
Smash on morning Southwark stone
And I love that here you live with me
Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known
Cos I've been too long a lonely man
Yes I've been too long a rolling stone
So let seasons turn
Grow paradise gardens
End to my migration
The native has returned
Oh I love the curling of your hair
Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known
I see Dylan Thomas in your face
Recite Butler Yeats there in your grace
So let seasons turn
Grow paradise gardens
End to my migration
The native has returned
And if I had to die today
Scatter my ashes on this place
And I'll live on in your grieving heart
But until that day that we depart
Oh, this is the greatest peace I've ever known (x3)
Only your love makes house a home
