about

A bittersweet ballad about loss.

lyrics

Walking the floors

There used to be a time every day would last a minute
Like a breeze blowing through her hair
Children running wild, a stove with always something in it
She loved the life she could share
Years went by and her partner in crime
Was taken by another useless war
Standing strong, plowing along
She knew what she was living for

Walking the floors
Closing the doors
Making sure everyone is there
Time can be violent
The house is silent but for the creaking of the stairs

Back in the day she just ran away
Nothing left to keep her home
Sure to find out what life was all about
With a fresh mind of her own
When she found the lover tapping into her heart
Keeping up with all the joy she held
Everybody seemed to feed on love so sweet
She remembers how that felt

Walking the floors
Closing the doors
Making sure everyone is there
Time can be violent
The house is silent but for the creaking of the stairs

The kids are gone, moving along
With families of their own
They hardly ever call or drop by at all
She learned how make it alone
Forgotten faces, forgotten places
And a cloudy sense of fear
She closes her eyes, searching for names
Of the ones she held so dear

Walking the floors
Closing the doors
Making sure everyone is there
Time can be violent
The house is silent but for the creaking of the stairs
