When we were young, we couldn’t wait to leave home
Travelled around the country
Maybe settle for awhile until the work was done
Made our long lists of places we’d like to see
We made it to a few
Before we settled down to raise a family
This is my home
This is my place in the world
It’s where memories are stored
In these walls and floors
They keep me company when I’m alone
This is my home
Where ghosts still live in these rooms
Where I can close my eyes
And look back in time
And catch another glimpse of you
Kids grow up and move away
Some close by, others far away
Now there’s all this extra space
And this stuff we’ve collected to fill the place
Fishing rods and pairs of skates
Old guitars and record players
Board games that we never played
I should clean all this out some day
This is my home …….
Now there’s only one place at the table
Only one towel on the rack
She’s been gone for over a year now
Only in my dreams can I bring her back
My kids say I should move out of here
To a residence close by
Where they cook your meals and wash your clothes
And wait for you to die
