Childhood Home Lyrics

You haven't traveled this road alone

(Without the love, without the love)

Without the love of an

Old familiar voice on the phone

But are you really

Counting on the flare

Of a hopeless prayer

To take you home

The road is wide and soaks up the plain

As every haunting memory remains

Now your mountains won't climb

Your rivers won't run

They're pulling at your eyes 'cause you loved someone

And you left someone

When he didn't seem to care at all

(He loves demerol)

Do you remember playing in the shed

And cauliflower skies

You're swinging on the porch

Every time you close your eyes

But if you went back now

Would it even pass the test

Is there someone left

For you to call

Though you know it's always

Ringing in your ear

As it draws you near

Your childhood home
