The town diner’s still here But empty lie most of the chairs Once home to our family mornings Perhaps some part of that time still lingers there
The park’s still here
They didn’t bother fixing the swing
No one goes there anymore
And the school bells don’t ring
Our memories lie here The only tales we have to tell No matter the places we’ve gone The town’s stayed its spell
Afterall,
Home stays home
At the end of the day
People aren't permanent
But home is here to stay
