No One Home

Once i stumbled on this place

Old and crumbling, left to waste

Nothing moving, not a sound

(and silence wraps around)

Oh, what is this i have found?

There's no one here

There's no one home

Oh, i feel so all alone

How many years; it's been so long

How many seasons come and gone

Chorus:

Reached out my hand to touch the ground

As if i could somehow

Bring back the steps of those before

I wish i could know more

I could not find i could not feel

Oh, i gazed across the field

I could not hear i could not see

All the years of those before me

Of those before me, yeah

Oh yeah

As i walked slowly through the door

(slowly through the door)

Faint etchings on the floor

(faint etchings on the floor)

Attempts to remind and preserve

(to preserve)

Oh, but how long can they serve

With no one here to share a word

Oh, how long will it take to learn

We've got one chance

We've got one turn

No more sin and no more hurt

Chorus:

Reached out my hand to touch the ground

As if i could somehow

Bring back the steps of those before

I wish i could know more

I could not find i could not feel

Oh, i gazed across the field

I could not hear i could not see

All the years of those before me

Of those before me, yeah

Oh yeah

Chorus 2:

Reached out my hand to touch the sky

Oh, as if my thoughts could fly

Throughout the seasons of this past

I wish that i could ask

I could not see; i could not find

Oh, what was left behind

I could not think what's in their mind

Though i start to realize

To realize

Oh yeah
