The Time We Had At Home

We were children at the start
Afraid of hurdles yet to come
You were trying to hear your heart
When you should have been having fun
And I know we've come a long way
Through the trials around the bends
But I don't know what I'm gonna do
When the world starts spinning again

Will you take this dance to the cold of the moonlit road
Let's raise a glass to the time we had at home
Will you take this dance to the cold of the moonlit road
Let's raise a glass to the time we had at home

Well, the summer passed us by
We spent days laying in the grass
Watched the sun fade from the sky
Watched the snow start falling fast
They say it soothes the mind
To know everything must pass
But I don't like knowing there'll be a time
When a kiss will be our last

When reality's set and the world starts feeling cold
Never forget the time we had at home
Will you take this dance to the cold of the moonlit road
Let's raise a glass to the time we had at home

And it makes me think of mama
And the knife held to her neck
TV gone, abuse on the phone
Discarded with no respect
And in a place where love is two shades of red
And seldom ever shown
I'll never discard, never regret
The time we had at home

And though it's quiet now where brothers used to roam
I never go a day without thinking about
The time we had at home

Well, the gnomes and the dwarf
They've got nowhere now
The gnomes ain't big enough to start the fire
And the dwarf, he don't know how
Well, what are we gonna do?
Close your eyes, little gnome
Come under my arm and keep yourself warm
With the time you spent at home

Though it's darker now and the light fades from your soul
Don't let them take the time we spent at home
Will you take this dance to the cold of the moonlit road
Let's raise a glass to the time we had at home
Will you take this dance to the cold of the moonlit road
Let's raise this glass to the time we had at home
