ANOTHER PLEASANT DAY
It's someone else's life that I recall
The padded footsteps in the hall
The morning shadows slowly fade into the light
And the house so quiet yawns and stretches into life
Another pleasant day in a time and place I've never known
The burning log upon the fire
Sizzles and cracks like my desire
A song is fading as it ambles to an end
And it brings us back to where we started from my friend
Another pleasant day in a time and place I've never known
The old folks waving from the lawn
We round the bend and then they're gone
The Spanish moss is swaying gently from the trees
And the smell of honey suckle wafting through the breeze
Another pleasant day in a time and place I've never known
We built our lives inside these walls
We catch each other when we fall
You bind me up and send me back into the grind
I know when I return the kindness here I'll find
These aren't the memories I have more like a dream I've never known
Another pleasant day in a time and place I've never known
