I heard the distant hours
Creased around the edges of a wall
Reminiscing on a time
The paint wasn't chipped at all
Counting down the faces
That had roamed these darkened halls
Oh I heard the distant hours
Loud and clear they call
The old ragged porch
Rounding out the backyard
Crawling leaves climbing
Out to meet the sun
Wondering how long has it been
Since anyone came around
The old ragged porch
Rounding out the backyard
Crawling leaves climbing
Out to meet the sun
Wondering how long has it been
Since anyone came around
I heard the ancient echoes
Filling up the corners that once were
Sending shivers down my spine
And faded dreams of laughter
Dusty broken mirrors linger
Desperate to be useful just once more
Oh I heard the ancient
Echoes far and wide they soar
The old ragged porch
Rounding out the backyard
Crawling leaves climbing
Out to meet the sun
Wondering how long has it been
Since anyone came around
The old ragged porch
Rounding out the backyard
Crawling leaves climbing
Out to meet the sun
Wondering how long has it been
Since anyone came around
Oh it hits you so sharp
Shattered glass that pierces
Through skin and bone
Through every little thing
You've ever known as home
Oh it hits you so hard
Rubble crumbles down
On the faces you hold dear
On the dreams and the places
That have kept you here
The old ragged porch
Rounding out the backyard
Crawling leaves climbing
Out to meet the sun
Wondering how long has it been
Since anyone came around
The old ragged porch
Rounding out the backyard
Crawling leaves climbing
Out to meet the sun
Wondering how long has it been
Since anyone came around
