Everybody Goes Home | Song# 97 | 12/04/1987
Everybody looks outside their window
Everybody opens closet doors
Everybody wonders what they were put here for
We leave footprints in the snow
I never do expect to see a unicorn
But I would like to watch my children grow
Gie me a dime, give me a dozen roses
Give me the echoes of the hunter’s horn
Refreain:
Every body goes Home
Everybody goes Home
Every body goes Home
Everybody goes Home
I had an idea but I lost it in infinity
It passed me by and did not pity me
I could be here or I could be there…or somewhere
You can either liver or you can sit and stare
Refrain:
Drown my eyes in fields of blazing daffodils
Float me scarcely on a summer breeze
Cauterize my aching heart
And teach me how to breathe!
Refrain:
Everybody looks outside their window
Everybody opens closet doors
Everybody wonders what they were put here for
Me? I leave footprints in the snow
Commentary: I wrote this song around the time my grandmother passed away over the age of 100 and a young friend of mine David Solar died in a car accident barely 20 years old. Our lives are so fragile and so temporary yet we live as if we have plenty of time. We don’t. Savor every moment. Do what you most love to do. Spend time with those you most want to be with. Remember to breathe.
