about

Some of the lyrics came from the first song I ever wrote. The music and most of the lyrics were trash, though, so I rewrote it, and this one came about.

lyrics

I picture you
Sitting all alone
In a nice, old-fashioned home
On the plains.
You ring a bell,
And we look in the well.
We look for some
Unexpected things.

The girl I know
Would walk with me
through the mountains.
And we’d sing
Oh lord, we’d sing
And hand in hand
We’d cross a bridge
And snow.
The girl I know.

I’d propose to you
If we were alone
In that nice old-fashioned home
On the plains.
I’d give a ring.
A simple wooden thing,
I found one day
While searching near
The well.
