Always home

Remember we were little
under the giant spruce tree
building castles of snow
always knowing where's home

Remember playing hide and seek
staying out until dark
eating berries from bushes
dancing under the rain

so free of pain
eyes wide open
loving everything
so alive

What did we become
who are we now
where are you now
kids of the neighbourhood

I still dream
of those houses and yards
looking for a place to hide
but there's no one to find me

no one to be found
the big tree is gone
and I can still hear him
gently whisper in the wind

telling his secrets
of snowy winters
and happy children
of the innocent years
