I've got a little house on Walnut Street 
      G 
The nights are quite, the morning's sweet. 
        C                         D 
Got an old wood floor beneath my feet, 
G 
That somebody's grandfather built. 
          G 
I bet he used to keep his lucky stripes on this windowsill, 
           C                           D 
While he planned and worked that wood until 
         G 
He made silk from the yellow pine. 
            G 
I've got a paper that says this house is mine,  
        D                 
But it ain't...it belongs to time. 

      Em             D  C                G              D    C 
With morning at the window, sometimes I swear this old room glows 
         G      
And somewhere between what you can and cannot see, 
                 D 
That old man is here. 

      G 
The neighbor lady sings all day long. 
           G 
She only stops at night to start at dawn. 
             C                       D 
I swear she only knows about three songs, 
       G                                G 
But I find myself singing to one of her sad old country tunes. 
      C                   D              G 
It reminds me of an afternoon...I was a kid and it was Saturday. 
G               
Just me and my dad drivin' out to the lake. 
C                     D 
Now he's just so far away... 

      Em             D  C                G              D    C 
With morning at the window, sometimes I swear this old room glows 
         G      
And somewhere between what you can and cannot see, 
         D        G (4X) 
He's right here... 

      G 
Last night I dreamed that I could fly. 
              G 
If I held my arms just right, I'd stay treetop high. 
         C                      D 
Hell, I may just be a bird sometimes. 
G                              G 
Hanging right above it all ; a bird with a sad and lonesome call 
     C                  D            
And any moment I might fall, for you... again. 

      Em             D  C                G              D    C 
With morning at the window, sometimes I swear this old room glows 
         G      
And somewhere between what you can and cannot see, 
   D            G (4X) 
You're still here.
