Bricks And Wood |
| Let’s take the green road home tonight |
| Overgrown trees cut out the light |
| Back to our parents' home |
| Always in Ektachrome |
| First you turn left, then you turn right |
| But when we arrived there was no roof, and no front door |
| There were no windows on any floor |
| Back to the bricks and wood |
| Like the rest of the neighbourhood |
| It was our parents' house no more |
| What was it that I hoped I’d see? |
| A revelation? |
| Or some sign of safety? |
| Places can accumulate so much weight |
| The beech tree at the front was gone |
| I was a boy up there in that top room |
| Some days I couldn’t wait to leave, yet I still believe |
| And as we retraced our steps that night |
| The city approached and the sky grew bright |
| It’s better to move on |
| Because the past is gone |
| There’s nothing left behind |
| So let the green road wind |
| You won’t straighten out its line |
| Imagine if we could |
| Shake off this stuff for good |
| It’s only bricks and wood |
| Yeah, imagine if we could |
| Shake off this stuff for good |
| It’s only bricks and wood |
