Home, when all lurch south,
is Grandma's porch in Texas-
laughing, eating figs.
Laughing, eating figs
Those were the days of our youth
Where have the days gone
Where have the days gone?
Where has my grandma's porch gone?
Too sad to think of.
Too sad to think of
Poor old Shep left in the barn
Why did the fire start?
Why did the fire start?
I don't know - don't look at me
Can't find the matches.
Can't find the matches
How will we start the barbie
Maybe McDonalds?
Maybe McDonalds?
Hmm, okay- Big Mac and fries
And a chocolate shake!
And a chocolate shake
What could be better than that?
Maybe a cold beer!
Maybe a cold beer
At a Mexican restaurant
On hot afternoons.
On hot afternoons
In Spain, on a white sand beach
Slyly, girl watching
Slyly, girl watching
Sand burning soles of her feet
As the tide went out.
As the tide went out
And the day came to an end
I would sleep and dream
I would sleep and dream
Long -forever-if I could
Escape is lovely.
Escape is lovely
To leave the whole world behind
Just me and my dreams
Just me and my dreams
But who knows where they'll lead me?
Maybe just back home.
Maybe just back home
Pondering why I had left
Yes, no place like home
Yes, no place like home
That's what we have all been told
Hopefully, it's true.
*Gotta go Intrepid - fun trading haikus with another dreamer -see ya later.
Hopefully, it's true
We never want to hear lies
Not even white ones
Not even white ones
Will go with this bridesmaid's dress
I just can't find shoes!
I just can't find shoes
Amongst the jumble in the
'Save the Children' shop.
