lyrics

burnt down,
flattened out,
did anyone see this coming?
i cry for the thirty years we knew
this house.

broke down,
as I passed by,
how could anything disappear that fast?
I smile for the good times we had
in this house
in this house

how will I know it's midnight if there's no grandfather clock to tell me?
now where will we go when we come home?
to the eyes it's all gone, but here in my heart to remind me.
it's all gone but the memory lives on.

dog bones in the backyard
you're never gonna get another apple from that tree
ain't a tree to be seen to be seen

the only familiar place
in a world of change
for my sisters and I

How will I know it's midnight if there's no gramma sippin her coffee?
Now where will we go when we come back home?
To the eyes it's all gone but here in my heart to remind me
It's all gone but the memory lives on

now where will we go when we come back home
