Burned Down

Take me back to sunlit rooms
Wooden floors, now a tomb
Our laughter echoing
In the wooded hills and the burbling spring

Sweet little voices, my sisters
Your rough hands, so blistered
From every stone you pulled up from the field
You built the walls, gave us a shield

Your lost heart burned down my trust
Abandoned us for your wanderlust
Burning embers scattered in the wind
I know I will never see you again

The strawberry patch, oh how we used to roam
Blissful in our perfect home
You kept us safe, you kept us sound
My memories of you now drowned

Your lost heart burned down my trust
Abandoned us for your wanderlust
Burning embers scattered in the wind
I know I will never see you again

Wading with you in the meadow stream
We climbed the tile red roof to scream
I remember the look on your face
Between the corn rows, one last race

Through the smoke the roof collapses
Walls cave in, into ashes
In the bitter winter, snowy cold
This is my story untold

Mulberries stained our hands purple
Your smiling face and lost scruples
I remember you, my shining star now
With all your wounds and scars

Your lost heart burned down my trust
Abandoned us for your wanderlust
Burning embers scattered in the wind
I know I will never see you again

Wondering now where you are
Wondering now where you are
Your lost heart burned down my trust
Wondering now where you are
Your lost heart burned down my trust

Your lost heart burned down my trust
