Nostalgia

M1N

Faded photos on the wooden floor

Golden sunlight dancing through the door

I can smell the tea and the morning rain

A peaceful heart that knew no pain

The laughter echoes in the hallway still

A warmth that time could never chill

 

Take me back to where I used to belong

To the house filled with a simple song

But the keys are lost and the windows barred

The road back home has grown so hard

I’m reaching out for a hand I can’t hold

Watching the embers turning cold

 

Time is a river that only flows one way

Turning the gold into shades of grey

If I could open that heavy door

I’d never ask for anything more

 

Take me back to where I used to belong

To the house filled with a simple song

But the keys are lost and the windows barred

The road back home has grown so hard

I’m reaching out for a hand I can’t hold

Watching the embers turning cold
