New one.
There once was a boy
From his parents he got
A house so big and warm
And from an early age
He was taught
How to create a good home
Keep the windows open
Keep the doors unlocked
Let in those who will enter
Let them in your home
Let them in your heart
That's what'll keep you warm in the winter
So he lived
In an open home
There for all to see
Some would visit
Some would stay for a while
Some he didn't want to leave
He kept the windows open
He kept the doors unlocked
Let in those who would enter
Let them in his home
Let them in his heart
They kept him warm in the winter
There once was a girl
Who came in this home
And made it oh so warm
And from an early stage
He was caught
And could not get away
Stunned by her warmth
He let it all in
Never had he felt such a thing
He pulled down his guards
Not realizing
What trouble such heat could bring
He kept the windows open
He kept the doors unlocked
He asked for her to enter
Let her in his home
Let her in his heart
To keep him warm in the winter
Then come autumn
Like the leaves from the trees
It was all slowly falling down
One morning, cold morning
He was down on his knees
She had burned his house to the ground
On its place
He built a new house
From thick, cold, grey stone
A house so small
He knew he would
Only live there alone
The windows were never open
The door was always locked
Nobody else could enter
Enter his home
Enter his heart
It was the coldest, loneliest winter
