Feels Like Home

You can take a trip
But you can’t go back
Too many times I’ve heard that
It’s prettier in clouded memory
And just today a north wind came

Tapped my shoulder
Brought the grey
And a chill I know by heart came over me
Feels like home

Though I never felt at home there
And I know that the winters were too long
Like the wind against the shutters
In a town I used to know
Anytime it looks like rain
It feels like home

You can change the present
But not the past
Too many times I’ve heard that
Days like these
Don’t scare me anymore
There was a time when one blue breeze
Knocked me down to my knees
Now all it does is open up a door
