WORDS & MUSIC BY KIM REA BEGLEY
DREAMDOG PUBLSIHING (ASCAP)

lyrics

IN 1957 AN EDUCATED MAN
WITH HIGH HOPES AND BIG PLANS
MOVED HIS FAMILY NORTH TO INDIANA
HE TOOK HIS LOVELY YOUNG WIFE
THEIR THREE SMALL CHILDREN
BOUGHT AN OLD HOUSE
AND A NEW BEGINNING
IN A LITTLE FARM TOWN
ON THE ST JO RIVER

FAMILY PHOTOS FRAMED ON THE MANTLE
TREASURED BOOKS PUT AWAY ON THE SHELVES
ROCKING CHAIR BY THE FIRE PLACE
BRIGHT COLORED RUGS OVER HARD WOOD FLOORS
THE BEDS WERE MADE THE HOUSE WAS CLEAN
SUNDAY CHINA ON THE DINNER TABLE

THEN THERE WAS A KNOCK ON THE DOOR

IN 1969 A YOUNG GIRL JUST TEN
CURIOUS AND WIDE EYED
FOUND AN OLD HOUSE BURIED IN WEEDS AND VINES
IT SEEMED FOREVER ABANDONED
BEGGING TO BE EXPLORED
AN OLD HOUSE AND A NEW BEGINNING
IN A LITTLE FARM TOWN ON THE ST JO RIVER

SHE CLIMBED IN THROUGH A BROKEN WINDOW
EVERYTHING WAS COVERED IN DUST
SEEMED LIKE TIME HAD STOPPED IN A HEARTBEAT
WAITING TO START UP AGAIN
SHE ADMIRED THE DARK SKINNED FACES
SMILING FOR THE CAMERA IN THEIR SUNDAY BEST

THE FAMILY PHOTOS FRAMED ON THE MANTLE
TREASURED BOOKS PUT AWAY ON THE SHELF
ROCKING CHAIR BY THE FIREPLACE
BRIGHT COLORED RUGS OVER HARD WOOD FLOORS
THE BEDS WERE MADE THE HOUSE WAS CLEAN
SUNDAY CHINA ON THE DINNER TABLE.
