Crossing Hulses

As I stepped off my porch today

I was hit by

an unmistakeable warm breeze

it took me back to your street

where my whole childhood was

for so many years that's all we knew

like playing in the road or staying up all night

in your room

and how we'll never do it again.



tonight these memories have me sitting in front of your house

there's a light on upstairs its not you

and it will never be again.



Now I'm crossing hulses

Like I've done so many times before.

This time I'm crying the rest of my childhood out.

throwing rocks and recalling smiles

and everything tha's come and gone

now its in the past

and I'll never be able to get it back.
