Walnut Street

[Verse 1]
I've got a little house on Walnut Street
The nights are quiet and the morning's sweet
I got an old wood floor beneath my feet
That somebody's grandfather built

[Verse 2]
I bet he used to keep his Lucky Strikes on this windowsill
While he planed and worked that wood until
He made silk from the yellow pine
I've got a paper that says this house is mine
But it ain't, it belongs to time

[Chorus]
And when morning's at the window
Sometimes I swear this old room glows
And somewhere between what you can and cannot see
That old man is here

[Verse 3]
The neighbor lady sings all day long
She only stops at night just to start at dawn
And I swear she only knows about three songs
But I find myself singing to one of her sad old country tunes
It reminds me of an afternoon
When I was a kid and it was Saturday
Just me and my dad drivin' out to the lake
Oh but now he's just so far away

[Chorus]
And when morning's at the window
Sometimes I swear this old room glows
And somewhere between what you can and cannot see
He's right here

[Verse 4]
Last night I dreamed that I could fly
If I held my arms just right I'd stay treetop high
Hell I may just be a bird sometimes
Hanging right above it all
A bird with a sad and lonesome call
And at any moment I might fall, for you again

[Chorus]
And when morning's at the window
Sometimes I swear this old room glows
And somewhere between what you can and cannot see
She's still here
