A Place of My Own

[Verse 1]
Early morning light shines, soon stirred from a dream
Where the shirts lay folded carefully with hands so clean
Cold winds call at the door, but get no reply
This was once a home that welcomed in the world outside
Ooh

[Verse 2]
I saw life in this home, learned love in her womb
Now, I scarcely recognize the place that I once knew
Darkness hangs in the hall, kept clean by your hand
And the floorboards whisper, "They no longer understand"
Ooh

[Chorus]
You feel surrounded, so you hide upon the floor and close your eyes
A heart so far away that leaves so many memories behind

[Verse 3]
Learned to call you by name, and look in your eyes
Learned to trust you with the story of my lonesome life
Now, I smile to think, what else can I do
I surrender to my longing for a love with you
Ooh

[Chorus]
You feel surrounded, so you hide upon the floor and close your eyes
A heart so far away that leaves so many memories behind

[Verse 4]
One last look as she stands, my shelter so true
Knowing all the laughter she will bring to someone new
May the mountain be far, and river so deep
I will raise you for the secrets you will learn to keep
Ooh
