about

They say you can't go home again. I never knew exactly what that meant.

lyrics

Well this bed it is not mine
Though it was some years ago
And i can’t sleep so I roam the halls
Like a thief in someones home
And the pictures on the wall
Stare me down, Lord
Stare me down
With faces so familiar
But stories all their own

I walk this old path through the woods
Its now mostly overgrown
And I pass by the old fence line
Old stones stacked upon stone
The faces that built the wall
Stare me down, Lord
Stare me down
Their faces so familiar
But their stories are not my own

They say blood is thicker than water
But buddy that seems mighty thin to me
I traded all my sons and daughters
For adventure on the sea

This house it is not mine
But it was some years ago
Floorboards creaking
There are ghosts in the hall
I’m awake and all alone

And the pictures on the wall
Stare me down, Lord
Stare me down
With faces so familiar
But stories I don’t know
Yeah these faces look like mine
But this story is not my own
