The house that I grew up in doesn't stand there anymore
They've pulled down the fibro walls and the big red wooden door
And they've built a doctors surgery with a car park at the side
And the one that's familiar and the land preoccupied
I can still recall the summer and the grass all freshly mown
It's the place that I came to when I needed to come home
Although I know what home is in my present state and time
I remember where I came from what I brought with me and what I left behind
The love I knew is gone now faded like a photograph
There are times when I see you and there are times I swear I hear you laugh
And I had a love who's loved me for a lifetime now it seems
And it figures in my days in my thoughts and in my dreams
I can still recall the summer with the shadings of my days
All in part of who I am the brickbats and bouquets
Although I know what home is and I never want to leave
I remember where I come from
