lyrics

The sixth house on the seventh street
Cracked shutters and the willow tree
Pot of coffee halfway full
My head on the window sill
Looking up towards the hill

That day the walls collapsed
That sky was torn and fast
I was not overcome
By my father’s son
Yes sir, I had finally won

Yet I’m colder still

I learned to not ask why
When I smile at a bright blue sky
Now I sleep in the sun
Like my daddy never done

In this house up on the hill
Up where the wind is still
The lights way down below
Stay warm with the common glow

And I’m colder still

These days with the coffee full
I put my head on the window sill
I tried hard not to sleep
I tried so hard to dream
