Heat lightning rumbles in the distance 
Sounds from west of the trees 
The old olds gone and the house is falling gone 
But the ghosts are a comfort to me 
Ghosts of my family and the time it's moved on 
Changing the whole garden new 
Standing here in the days for a while 
Strong beside you 
Strong beside you on this land that 
I brought you too 
Strong beside you with my arm holding you close 
Strong beside you with these babies at our feet 
The warm summer wind blows 
The warm summer wind blows 
The chimney's fell down 
The grass ain't been cut 
And the road into town 
Cuts through woods 
And the barn needs a roof 
There's things more important 
That holding proof 
Holding the proof and it's keeping me strong 
Won't miss this house we're in much longer 
This hollowing much longer takes its toe on us both 
And I guess that it's good that it shown 
Looking for a comfort in the known 
Looking for a comfort in the known 
Nothing takes the place to the ones you left behind 
This place you always held in this heart of mine 
Holding on too long to the place you always healed 
Heat lightning rumbles in the distance 
As I creep slowly by 
I hold myself together 
Someone between anguish and acceptance 
As I creep slowly by 
I hold myself together 
Someone between anguish and acceptance
