It took me by surprise This old house and these old feelings Walked round and looked inside Familiar walls and halls and ceilings
Where I'd dream and plan Every moment of sunshine This was my whole world It was all I knew Like the hull of a seed This old house cracked wide open As I grew
Hadn't given it much thought Hadn't been back here for a while Everything looks so small Seen through the memories of a child
Who would dream and stare From that second story window That was my whole world It was all I knew Like the hull the of a seed This old house cracked wide open And I flew
Sad fruitful broken true Sad fruitful broken true
Memories for miles and miles Summers falls winters and springs Ruby you take it in See he's withheld no good thing
