OUR OWN PLACE

 

You and I will get our own place

Wash away the dark of old days

Find our way through doorways brand new

The ceiling's high, the floors are new

With natural light in every room

We’ll keep it nice, not like we used to

Gone are those days we have waited so long to be free

 

Now and then I think of old age

Studying the lines in your face

Think I'd like to see them grow deep

The work is hard the days are long

Sold the drum set for a song

Found a place to dance on the weekends

Here are these days we have waited so long to see

 

We don't need more freedom

No we don't need more

What we need are lines we can trust to be drawn

To be drawn

 

You and I will get our own place

Take one baby step to old age

Spend our autumn days in the sun

The seeds, the spoils, the boys and girl

The branches grow the leaves uncurl

Watch them all float slowly down now

 

Found are these days we shall waste not one moment of peace

Gone are those days we have waited so long

Not to be free, no

But to be limitless

Weightless

Infinite within the walls of you

And me

 

You and I will get our own place

Wash away the dark of old days
