• Take down the vines that have grown wild
    Over these walls wearing thin
    Replace these locks and give me the key
    I’ll soon be moving in

    Remove the dusty pictures from over crumbling mantle
    We’ll make new memories to fill their place
    Laughter will seep through the open cracks
    Erasing every bit of her trace.

    I’ll be the light that douses the darkness
    Blinding out any hint of a shadow
    Making love from room to room
    Sharing secrets with our afterglow

    And if you decide you can't renew this home
    We’ll figure a way to dismember
    Burn what's left of the old abode
    And warm ourselves from its embers
