lyrics

Cars unpacked
The dogs are fed
Cats have been let out in the rain
The blinds are open
And the snow is falling
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-day

And I remember what it's like
to feel 10,000 ways a day
but now I'm old and I guess I'm wiser
I think I still have things to say

The bed is made now and the doors are closing
I'm 29
But I can still feel the pull of all those distant places
Oh, they never go away

It's a portrait of a domestic life
Yes I know the clothes are dry

I've draw my circles now
But they're still unfinished
The water is flowing down the drain
We say our goodbyes and we tell our stories
We'll fight out battles another day

So ut your slippers on
And come to dinner
I think the poatatoes are overdone
I'm learning to draw now
But my hands aren't steady
Oh, the lines are dull and gray

It's a portrait of domestic life
Yes I know the clothes are dry
But do I still have time to fly?
Or has the sun past me by?
