Let's see, there was a white sliding door A desk with detailed décor And a piano which would be the life and death of me Made by the Werner Fabrik It had an air of mystique The centerpiece of a childhood memory
I remember it all to this day And though I'm light years away now, by-the-way I wonder How many homes will I come back to from homes, which just aren't my homes anymore? I move in, I move out, and in time I grow out Of the girl that I've been before Guess every home is a chapter in life and that all that remains is my core Every home's a dress rehearsal for one more
Let's see, the most peculiar brew Of pins and paper clips too In a chest among treasures come Christmas time
And in my kingdom for one is where I'd welcome the sun With a cigarette hidden from my mothers eyes
This is the lamp that's been broken as harsh words were spoken In the open, finally Here's where I sat down and cried We've said our goodbyes And I told you that I couldn't live without you But then you left me...
I remember it all to this day And though I'm light years away now, by-the-way I wonder...
The desk now graces someone else childhood The piano gathers dust in mom's apartment Yet they're all invested with my deepest passions And dreams of hitting homeruns in a dazzing fashion Home-run, I'm homeward bound
How many homes will I come back to from homes, which just aren't my homes anymore? I move out, I move in rearranging within and improving the one before Guess my whole life is a collection of memories reflected in things I adore Guess I'll never know what life still has in store
It's where my family's at, it's where I lay my hat And my scarf and my gloves and my shoes... It's where I let my hair down, where I'm safe and sound...
