Have a home that you miss? I too have a place that I wish I had never left...ahh, my home town..I can see it all so clearly..There's a young boy standing on snow covered path..it was June, but my father got it cheap from a man he knew...I can still see my grey-haired old mother..off in the distance, waving to me...from the back of the police van..a tear forming in the corner of her eye..conjunctivitis.
We were poor..but that didnt stop us being miserable..there were 3 of us kids..4 hungry mouths to feed...we never did work out where that extra mouth came from..Yes..Yes I remember so much..I remember the corn, swaying in the breeze..I remember the swing, swaying in the yard..I remember swaying goodbye...Looking down at my father, in that long pine box...my dear sweet father..and saying "it's ok, you can come out now, the landlord has gone"
I remember my first sweetheart..I remember the first time we held hands...the first time we kissed...the first time I stole money out of her purse..Ahh, happy days..And then..and then came the great war..it tore us apart..I was devastated..she was killed going over the top in Afghanistan..just like I'm going over the top now...It was never the same between us after that..Throw another lumberjack on the fire..and let me tell you about this place of wonder...

A man sat by the fire place, the fire it was out...
