home as I know it

As the windows were closing 

And the lights dimmed out 

The wind swept through the living-room for the last time 

And the curtains swinging north 

The dogs barked our song one more time 

And the dust went sideways as I drove my car from the driveway 

I look back over my shoulder 

To what you build, a home to many, 

A home to you, and me 

Is not our home anymore, 

But four empty walls 

With memories living inside 

But quietly time does what time does 

And memories are getting quieter and quieter 

As I look out the window 

To our old road 

Our old home 

And home as I know it 

Is not home anymore 

But home I have inside me 

As I let go 

Of what I once thought 

Was going to last forever 

Is living now 

Forever inside of me
