The reading is lonely tonight
All the neighbors know your life
When you walk around the house
You call a name and no one answers

We know it's too late
And even so you drew a cage
With the colored pencils
That you found in the basement

Fifty years ago in that blue house
You rang the bell of that blue house

You imagine flowers in the garden
And spend your day watering them
When there's a choir in the town
You remember all those days

Fifty years ago in that blue house
You rang the bell of that blue house
