halcyon

There's a house just off of Halcyon Road On a mesa overlooking the central coast It's where my grandma and my grandpa both grew old And it's always been my home away from home I grew up playing in the backyard Swinging on the swingset No idea what the real world was Or how crazy it gets Playin' hide and seek With my cousins in the trees No clue then how much it all would mean to me I owe it all I owe it all To the memories in those four walls I owe it all I owe it all To the ones that taught me to love big and strong On Sunday mornings we would drive down to the beach All of us kids piled into the backseat Run up and down the dunes and jump over the creeks Since then, I don't think I've ever felt so free Come home and hang out in the parlor After the sun went down That old beanbag from the sixties was The best seat in the house Every night by nine o'clock We'd end up singing Beatles songs Three part harmonies I swear still linger on I owe it all I owe it all To the memories in those four walls I owe it all I owe it all To the ones that taught me to love big and strong When grandpa finally said goodbye We sat in the living room and cried And I knew it would never be the same We took a walk, watched the sunset And I knew it all would be ok I owe it all I owe it all To the memories in those four walls I owe it all I owe it all To the ones that taught me to love big and strong
