Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Aug. 21, 2013]

Echo drenched inside reverb rain
Your festive summer, you just couldn't wait
We became free into darkness then
Until the night silence distance froze

Our old house stands never empty
Our old house filled with stranger's pity
Well I'd say I put it down to this warm spell
And I must admit I don't know you very well

Hear him laughing, his memory walks the garden
I say it's all right, I still believe in you
We pretend nothing ever changes
Shivering, we don't stay too long

In the back seat awake and dizzy
Journey's over, it left me sleepy
Well I'd say I put it down to this warm spell
And I must admit I don't know you very well

One hot night, solid air like blankets
My father's piano, dreams of his song
His fingers tingle, anticipation
Down the hall we shudder back tonight

Our old house stands never empty
Our old house filled with a stranger's pity
Well I'd say I put it down to this warm spell
And I must admit I don't know you very well
