Take me back to the house where I grew up again
I remember every moment shared
Times, they change, but the walls remain the same
We were never frightened, cold or scared

Whatever happened to the pictures on the wall?
The scarf you made when the snow began to fall?
The pen marked doorway where the kids were growing tall?
We made this house a happy home

Take me back to the garden of those summer days
Dens to build and new places to hide
These are memories that make me smile always
You were fearless, I was by your side

Whatever happened to the clock that used to chime?
The creaky floorboards on the stairs we used to climb
I’d love to see us as we were just one more time
We made this house a happy home

Whatever happened to the markings on the tree
The summer stretching as far as we could see
I’d love to see us as we were just you and me
This house it was a happy home
This house it was a happy home

No simple word,
The open book,
The letter's kill and you can't lookA broken lock,
The empty mouth,
A distant sound creeping out

A long, long, gone melodyA long, long, gone memory of wonder
A silent word,
The poison took,
The shallow eyes take their last lookA whispered doubt,
An empty house,
An autumn leaf on the ground
A long, long, gone melodyA long, long, gone memory of wonder
