lyrics

All we ever wanted was a hearth to call our own
All we ever needed was warmth inside our bones
Decades in the making, these walls became our home
We gently stoke the fire to gently warm the stones

We packed up our things
Got rid of a thousand more
And loaded the truck
We left it all behind
Neighbours and friends
It felt like the end
As we got further away
The sun came out as if to say, “It’s gonna be ok.”
And as we walked in the door
We felt a warm sweet breeze
Like we’d never felt before

From pigeons on the rooftops to chickens in the yard
We use to wake up with sirens, now we wake up with the lark
The kids had lots of firsts there, those memories shall remain
If walls could sing, they’d be singing about laughing
And playing and growing and singing, “Come back soon...”

The things we leave behind
Are echoes of another time
If we trust what we had
We will always keep a piece with us
Sometimes it feels far away
But the light in the sky shines on
The icicles melt on time
Like the river turns to rain
We all get to start again
