We Lived Here Once

Cracked stone path beneath my shoes

The house still leans like it used to do

Shutters blink in the salt-worn breeze

Ghosts in the glass, waving at me

We lived here once; or maybe we dreamed it

Laughed in the dirt and swore we'd never leave it

Now even the ocean forgets our names

But I remember. I still remember

The market's gone but the scent remains

Of bread and rust and summer rains

The tree we carved is leaning too

Our letters blurred, but still breaking through

We lived here once; or maybe we dreamed it

Laughed in the dirt and swore we'd never leave it

Now even the ocean forgets our names

But I remember. I still remember

I still remember

I still remember

We lived here once
