halcyon - BLÜ EYES

[00:00.143]There’s a house just off of halcyon road
[00:05.283]On a mesa overlooking the central coast
[00:10.338]It’s where my grandma and my grandpa both grew old
[00:15.411]And it’s always been my home away from home
[00:19.210]
[00:20.405]I grew up playing in the backyard
[00:23.637]Swinging on the swingset
[00:25.762]No idea what the real world was
[00:28.309]Or how crazy it gets
[00:31.383]Playing hide and seek
[00:33.348]With my cousins in the trees
[00:35.751]No clue then how much it all would mean to me
[00:39.751]
[00:41.320]I owe it all
[00:45.105]I owe it all
[00:47.667]To the memories in those four walls
[00:51.204]I owe it all
[00:55.244]I owe it all
[00:58.634]To the ones that taught me to love big and strong
[01:02.964]
[01:11.575]On Sunday mornings we would drive down to the beach
[01:16.614]All of us kids piled into the backseat
[01:21.694]Run up and down the dunes and jump over the creeks
[01:26.955]Since then, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so free
[01:31.108]
[01:31.827]Come home and hang out in the parlor
[01:34.809]After the sun went down
[01:37.262]That old beanbag from the 60s was
[01:40.109]The best seat in the house
[01:42.612]Every night by 9:00
[01:44.675]We’d end up singing Beatles songs
[01:47.437]3 part harmonies I swear still linger on
[01:51.243]
[01:52.771]I owe it all
[01:56.594]I owe it all
[01:59.154]To the memories in those four walls
[02:02.858]I owe it all
[02:06.690]I owe it all
[02:10.020]To the ones that taught me to love big and strong
[02:14.564]
[02:23.368]When grandpa finally said goodbye
[02:26.040]We sat in the living room and cried
[02:28.785]And I knew it would never be the same
[02:33.118]We took a walk, watched the sunset,
[02:35.878]and I knew it all would be ok
[02:40.142]
[02:48.880]I owe it all
[02:52.650]I owe it all
[02:55.266]To the memories in those four walls
[02:59.121]I owe it all
[03:02.874]I owe it all
[03:06.270]To the ones that taught me to love big and strong
