Why did you remember?
I really thought we lost it
It was such a long, long time ago
It was there before we moved
I thought the former kept it
It was such a long, long time ago
Hiding in the leaves, we'd shelter from the breeze
And the trees are going bare again
The summers come and gone
The autumn sings it song
The winter won't be long
So well make it last
The time when I came home
And you were crying under the stairs
I didn't want to know because I was scared
A meeting in the kitchen
My brother wouldn't join in
To be honest I don't blame him
He didn't want to know
The wreckage of our of past
It didn't really last
And the photographs and quiet kept us calm
The memories often lie
They wouldn't make us cry
Just keep it all inside and try to forget
The TV's on but there's no-one home
And I hope they will come back soon
Cause I feel now that I understand
And I know why we moved away
But it's all good and well after all
Now everybody knows
We have a new home
And the telephone is not that far away
So forget all what's been done
Your father's still the one
And everything is OK
I can just remember
I was sitting in the bedroom
And I felt all of this was too soon
I tried my best to fight it
And you know I won
And I'm glad you stayed right here with me
I really thought we lost it
It was such a long, long time ago
It was there before we moved
I thought the former kept it
It was such a long, long time ago
Hiding in the leaves, we'd shelter from the breeze
And the trees are going bare again
The summers come and gone
The autumn sings it song
The winter won't be long
So well make it last
The time when I came home
And you were crying under the stairs
I didn't want to know because I was scared
A meeting in the kitchen
My brother wouldn't join in
To be honest I don't blame him
He didn't want to know
The wreckage of our of past
It didn't really last
And the photographs and quiet kept us calm
