Lyrics of
Our House

Our House was written by Graham Nash during his relationship with Joni Mitchell, inspired by the idyllic domestic life they shared. The lyrics reflect the simple happiness and love found in the everyday life of a couple.

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 I
La la la
La la 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
I'll light the fire
While you place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today
