The Lamplight
leaving back my hometown and my street
packing my old suitcase
in the house
of my youth
I won’t forget the shape
of toys and bikes and pencil lines
when all the simple things
were hard to learn and needed time
I had plans and courage
to get out
plastic trains and railroads
on the floor
of my room
I won’t forget the smell
of books and dogs and candy bars
when all the little things
were big enough to make me laugh
there’s a light in the house where I lived and a song from the past
you can find my old dreams in the room where I buried my heart
as I look behind
I know that time won’t stop
I lock the frontdoor
and leave at nine o’clock
there’s a light in the house where I lived and a song from the past
you can find my old dreams in the room where I buried my heart
