It took me by surprise
|
this old house and these old feelings
|
walked round and looked inside
|
familiar walls and halls and ceilings
|
|
where I'd dream and plan
|
every moment of sunshine
|
this was my whole world
|
it was all I knew
|
like the hull of a seed
|
this old house cracked wide open
|
as I grew
|
|
hadn't given it much thought
|
hadn't been back here for a while
|
everything looks so small
|
seen through the memories of a child
|
|
who would dream and stare
|
from that second story window
|
that was my whole world
|
it was all I knew
|
like the hull the of a seed
|
this old house cracked wide open
|
and I flew
|
|
sad fruitful broken true
|
sad fruitful broken true
|
|
memories for miles and miles
|
summers falls winters and springs
|
Ruby you take it in
|
see he's withheld no good thing
|
