A Casa De Blues

Have a look around
See the stones, this old, odd town
Remembering what’s lost is found
That old, odd town
Look at what we keep
For the loving sake of Pete
Keepsakes safe beneath my feet
Still, here lies Pete
These old stones’ll never sound
A closed arcade, a rotted bough
Yet somehow closer have they grown
And in my heart it’s always home
It’s always home
A worn, beaten bar
One of many in this park
Recess ends and out with stars
Those monkey bars
Look at what we keep
Items old and trinkets cheap
To even place beneath our feet
Yet, still no peace
Grocery carts and stabled sows
Tennis shoes on wire wound
Yet somehow closer have they grown
And in my heart it’s always home
If home is where my heart is
Then let’s get this bypass started
'Cause no matter the duration
This old pump’s vocation needs elation
If home is where it started
Then I have not yet departed
'Cause no matter the duration
These eyes' perspiration lacks credidation
'Cause in my heart it’s always home
I never roamed
So don’t bemoan
You’re not alone
'Cause in your heart I’m always home
