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] Playin 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
