| Why did you remember?
|
| I really thought we lost it
|
| It was such a long, long time ago
|
| It was there before we moved
|
| I thought the former kept it
|
| It was such a long, long time ago
|
| Hiding in the leaves, we’d shelter from the breeze
|
| And the trees are going bare again
|
| The summers come and gone
|
| The autumn sings it song
|
| The winter won’t be long
|
| So well make it last
|
| The time when I came home
|
| And you were crying under the stairs
|
| I didn’t want to know because I was scared
|
| A meeting in the kitchen
|
| My brother wouldn’t join in
|
| To be honest I don’t blame him
|
| He didn’t want to know
|
| The wreckage of our of past
|
| It didn’t really last
|
| And the photographs and quiet kept us calm
|
| The memories often lie
|
| They wouldn’t make us cry
|
| Just keep it all inside and try to forget
|
| The TV’s on but there’s no-one home
|
| And I hope they will come back soon
|
| Cause I feel now that I understand
|
| And I know why we moved away
|
| But it’s all good and well after all
|
| Now everybody knows
|
| We have a new home
|
| And the telephone is not that far away
|
| So forget all what’s been done
|
| Your father’s still the one
|
| And everything is OK
|
| I can just remember
|
| I was sitting in the bedroom
|
| And I felt all of this was too soon
|
| I tried my best to fight it
|
| And you know I won
|
| And I’m glad you stayed right here with me |
