about

a song dedicated to the greatest little music house on Cape Cod - O'Shea's Olde Inne - "the house that love built"

lyrics

This house sits on the bend, built with love so long ago
A family to tend, this house has always been a home
Time, and time again, children grow, the house gets sold
Time is a cruel friend, the fire in the hearth grows cold

But there is music in these walls,
you can hear the siren as she calls
This is a house of love a house of love
Oh yes, there’s music in these walls, the melody it lifts and falls
This is a house of love a house of love

A hundred years go by, the house sits empty on the bend
You can almost hear the cry, of a lonely soul who’s at the end
But new folks chance to buy, now that house is on the mend
Piled up with kids sky high, this is a new and joyful trend

Cause there is music in these walls,
you can hear the siren as she calls
This is a house of love a house of love
Oh yes, there’s music in these walls, the melody it lifts and falls
This is a house of love a house of love

And now we’re sittin’ here, and we’re drinkin’ beer
And we’re singin’ songs, to pass the time
And as we sit and sing our songs about any old thing
We knock back the pints, and life is fine.

Now changed hands again, this is the final incarnation
The house becomes an Inne, a fabulous rejuvenation
This was the house’s fate, there is no other explanation
Where folks can come to play, or sit and listen to the session

Cause there is music in these walls,
you can hear the siren as she calls
This is the house of love a house of love
Oh yes, there’s music in these walls,
the melody it lifts and fa – a – alls
This is the house of love the house of love, the house of love,
This is the house of love, the house of love
