lyrics

Second to the right and straight on to morning
Still I can't find my way
To these images of home
It's green and spinning
Drop to the ground now my eyes are closed
I've reached this summertime and I've got say it's nice
But I know spring is never again coming in this life

It's a precious thought but an elusive conclusion
Used to freely come and go
What made this time an intrusion
They say that home is where the heart is
Well I've got one in myself
But it's too busy keeping me alive
To be anywhere else

Your words say you miss me
But your face says you can't come back
I've seen too much of this world
To tie myself here
But I've learned enough to mourn that
These days, every night before I fall asleep
The last thing I feel is alone

I keep her in my heart
That little girl who lives to play in the backyard
But she's afraid,
She's afraid of the dark
I keep her locked away
