lyrics

Wild wind barges in
Knocks down trees we lived in
Brings your hands to your knees, falling down
But we get up again, find your strength from within
Vines crawling up the floor break the sound
And now Mimi wears your watch
Ticking time though time has stopped
It is beating right there, resting on her arm
And the rocking horse rocks on
The TV hums along
I fall asleep to a weather lullaby

But you know when you're alone
That place that you call home
You go back to the place where you belong
Hey old man, hey old friend
You know I'll see you once again
But for now, could you make that garden grow?

Now I hear you in the halls
Whistling to some old song
You were always working on some new design
Now I hear you and I know
Every whistle whispered slow
You are here in my hands and in my soul
So I sing, yeah I rejoice
Can you hear us making noise?
We are here with you still, can you tell?
Are we there, with you too?
Do you sing to us, too?
That whistle in the wind makes me smile
It always made me smile

But you know when you're alone
That place that you call home
You go back to the place where you belong
Hey old man, hey old friend
You know I'll see you once again
But for now, could you make that garden grow?
