The Mezuzah
I've traveled to cities you've never seen Far from the town where I was a teen To Budapest and west Odense A million miles from New Providence Thirty years later, my childhood's gone The blue-and-white house half-acre lawn So why do I dwell on the elm tree in back The mezuzah in front and the books in the stack? There was nothing to do and the neighbors were mean I sat in my room and tried not to scream We fought and we squabbled every third day And I longed for the time when I'd go far away I never look back and I try to forget So why do I think of this house with regret? Why do I dwell on the elm tree in back The mezuzah in front and the books in the stack? Now I walk to work under a mackerel sky The tears start to slide, I can't fathom why It's been nine years since you're in a grave もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com I keep on living and I even forgave How you died in front of me that day The clocks keeps ticking as you slide away And time stood still for a full year While I pretend you were near Mom, you died in front of me that day Four paramedics, they couldn't say That you would live to comfort me Or one day know who I would be I never look back and I try to forget So why do I think of the house with regret? Why do I dwell on the elm tree in back The mezuzah in front and the books in the stack? I never look back and I try to forget So why do I think of the house with regret? Why do I dwell on the elm tree in back The mezuzah in front and the books in the stack?
