Painting over the memories
Color seepin' in between
The faded stains
Of love and blame
Of truth and make believe
Patching up the broken frame
Set the doorway once again
To let inside
The good and right
To keep away the rain
Didn't ever think I'd leave
Didn't ever think I'd be back here again, here again
In the shadow of what held me then
Didn't ever think I'd leave
Didn't ever think I'd be back here again, here again
Where I thought it knew my name
Cleaning up what's left of these
Fragments of the bitter-sweet
Makin' space
For light and grace
For someone else's memories
Didn't ever think I'd leave
Didn't ever think I'd be back here again, here again
In the shadow of what held me then
Didn't ever think I'd leave
Didn't ever think I'd be back here again, here again
Where I thought it knew my name
These four walls they saw it all
The sorrow deep, the wonderful
I walked away, left old things
My heart found healing
Strong and new
Beautiful and free
Didn't ever think I'd leave
Didn't ever think I'd be back here again, here again
In the shadow of a life that's been
Didn't ever think I'd leave
Didn't ever think I'd be back here again, here again
But I am not the same
