about

This one is for my beloved brothers. Thoughts about my childhood time at Halidon Hall in Newport and the Gazebo down on the bay in front of our house.

lyrics

My relationship with you
Is like a dream that I once had
And these flashes in my mind
Are some home movies but they’re mine
And I keep on losing track of you
But it’s always been that way
We were never really on a track
Just a train that ran away

And I am not so sure at all
That I am comfortable this way
And then again I’m not so sure
It’s not the other way

Around, around the years go by
Sometimes I get a ring
But the only time I see your face
Is when you want me to sing

And it was so fun
And it was so good
And I felt so safe under my red hood
Take a walk on my lawn
This is my gazebo
It’s the end of the reel
What an excellent show

If I sit quiet in the green room
Do your dishes every day
Stay out of your secret closets
Where you always went to play
And I’ve seen your monkey shakin’
In his cage as you walked by
Just thinking about the old house
Always seems to make you cry

And it was so fun
And it was so good
And I felt so safe under my red hood
Take a walk on my lawn
This is my gazebo
It’s the end of the reel
What an excellent show

I will never tell on you
Say I can stay at least til Christmas day

And it was so fun
And it was so good
And I felt so safe under my red hood
Take a walk on my lawn
This is my gazebo
It’s the end of the reel
What an excellent show

‘Cuz it was so fun
And it was so good
And I felt so safe under my red hood
Take a walk on my lawn
This is my gazebo
It’s the end of the reel
What an excellent show

I will never tell on you
Say I can stay at least til Christmas day
