lyrics

Sparrows nesting in the awning
Winds are whistling through the wall
And the rains run like a fountain
Through the plaster in the hall
The ivy vines have breached the shingles
Their leafy tendrils, peeling back the tin
Sometimes it feels as though the outside
Is slowly creeping in.
I walk the grey soaked streets of Ringwood
In the forgotten parts of town
Where the old men still meet for coffee
And watch their old haunts being torn down
A wrecking ball slams through old memories
But these old guys you know, they just take it on the chin
Their hardened hearts have known the outside
Was always slowly creeping in.
Our house, so quiet in the evenings
We move in separate circles round’ the floor
Before she calls the children home for dinner
And they come bustling through the door
Spilling noisy stories from the schoolyard
And while we listen, we share a secret little grin
Both so thankful for the outside
That’s ever slowly creeping in.
It may not always be so welcomed,
But well, at least it keeps things interesting
When in the empty hours, the outside
Comes slowly creeping in.
