Lyrics

That Little Place I knew

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I knew a place when I was young that I liked

But that place got burned down not so long ago

I never knew her name

And it always looked the same

I guess that place will always be my home

That little place I knew so long ago

Saw the pictures of it in the paper

It brought a cold hard shutter to my bones

I knew the boy that died

He was coldly burned alive

But I guess that place will always be his home

In that little place I knew so long ago

But I hate what it did to me

And I'm lost inside the pockets of its overcoat

Never tried to come back home to see

All the ash, the debris and the smoke

I moved away the day that I had left school

I didn't stick around to make my mark

I even changed my name

Told my family to do the same

To run from the place I knew long ago

They ran a story of me in the paper

About a ghost who wouldn't come back home

I got it through the post

Lit the fire and let it roast

Oh I never want to feel like I'm getting old

Oh in that little place I knew so long ago

I hate what it did to me

Oh I'm lost inside the pockets of its overcoat

I never tried to come back home to see

All the ash, the debris, and the smoke

?Shops called to spark up an old firework?

Turn the place in half just like a boat

As the fire burned the field

Was shred into the drains

Turning the whole place into a swamp

Oh in the little place I knew so long ago

I hate what it did to me

Oh I'm lost inside the pockets of its overcoat

I never tried to come back home to see

All the ash, the debris, and the smoke

Never tried to come back and see

All the ash, the debris, and the smoke
