A young tree is growing
Through boards on the floor
Ain't nothing much left of the roof
The old chimney stands
Over looking the past
And the garden's a tangle of roots
Every spring even now in this dried up texas town
There's a beautiful lilac in bloom
Where lifetimes ago
The seeds she sowed came up in her favourite blue
I can't make out the words
Or the name on the box
Painted letters gave up to the rain
It was nothing but time
That washed them away
Yet they flow through the blood in my veins
There were debts barely paid
And beds daily made
Broken china and chairs left behind
But I swear I can hear
The laughter here
Inside of me and before my time
I wanted you to see
This broken down old place
Before it turns to dust and sweet dreams
They would have loved you I know
Would have set you a place
You'd have made them so happy for me
We are not meant to last
Just to love what we have
And I promise I'll do the best I can
Someday all the stars will die
But they're ours tonight
And tomorrow's forever again
We are not meant to last
Just to love what we have
And I promise I'll love best I can
Someday all the stars will die
But they're ours tonight
And tomorrow's forever again
Forever again
Forever again
