A New House

All those places where the wild things grew

All the fields he used to run through

Summer stretches out for seven weeks in june

Was there more light, more time than he ever knew?

Now he runs as fast as he can go

And he's hidden almost everywhere that he knows

Chased by the terror from the boys on the street below

He remembers a time of sunlight

And weeds through windows

Cause once there was meadows here; greens and grass

The night skies were only black interrupted by stars

They were like settlers abroad from some foreign parts

A new job, a new hope, a new start

In a new house

I'm going to take you there some time

Sometimes he's walking home alone out on the street

Memories come flooding back about

What they used to do what things used to be

Could he go back to unscrambling his dream?

Could everything in his world go from grey to green?

So I'd take you back to paradise if I only could

I want to walk you to the lane to the river

Through the woods

I want to show you how it was and what we used to do

With a new job, a new hope, a new view

In a new house

That's where we're going to go

I'm crying all the way to it now

Cause once there was meadows here; greens and grass

The night skies were only black interrupted by stars

They were like settlers abroad from some foreign parts

A new job, a new hope, a new start, a new way

A new place, a new view, a new road, a new time

A new walk, a new climb, on a new day

In a new house

In a new house

I'm going to take you there

To a new house

That's where we're gonna go

To a new house

Come on back, come on back

To a new house

To a new house
