Summer Home (nostolgic)

Sunlight through the curtains Dust dancing in the gold

Cartoons playing softly On that television old

Shoes beside the doorway

Pictures down the hall

I haven't seen this house in years But I remember all Someone's

laughing in the kitchen

I know that voice somehow For one beautiful second

Nothing ever changed

Don't ask what year it is

Don't tell me where I've been

If I keep quiet long enough Maybe I can stay again

I'm back in the summer house

Everything's still here

Same light through the window Same voices I can hear Don't wake

me

Not yet Let me have another minute

I know this place is gone But tonight I'm living in it

Old marks on the doorway My name beneath the paint

A toy I thought I'd forgotten Sitting exactly in its place

I walk into the backyard

Evening turning blue

Someone calls me in for dinner

Like they always used to do

Then I notice The trees aren't moving

The clock hasn't changed

And suddenly I know

I'm back in the summer house Everything's still here

Same light through the window Same voices I can hear Don't wake

me

Not yet Let me have another minute

I know this place is gone But tonight I'm living in it

Ahh... Stay... Ahh...

The hallway's getting darker

The pictures losing faces

No

Not yet

Please

I just got here

Keep me in the summer house Leave the morning outside

Let the television glow

Let the old rooms stay alive

Don't wake me

Not yet I know exactly what this is If memory is all

that's left Then let me dream inside of it

Someone calls my name

I turn around

The house is gone.
