Mary Anne Constable - Walls

We lived in a house
With a big backyard
When I was young
Before life got hard

We played on the grass
Till the sun went down
We laid on our backs
And watched the white clouds

Oh, my heart is drifting
Over memories shifting

We climbed in the trees
Hiding under the leaves
Imagined stories, created secrets
That only we would keep

Oh, sometimes I laughed till I couldn't breathe
Oh, sometimes I cried myself to sleep

Inside your walls
Under the stars
Within your keep

And when I grew up
They broke your walls apart
Created spaces for unknown faces
On the blue print of my heart

Oh, although you leave no trace behind
Oh, I'm walking in the hallways of my mind

Inside your walls
Under the stars
Within your keep

Inside your walls
Under the stars
The memories sleep
