"THINGS AREN'T THE SAME"

Things aren’t the same around here anymore
You can feel it in the wind kicking up a storm
You can feel it your bones
As you drive on down the road
To the place that I, that I call home
 
And I walk to the door
Like times before
and I’m overburdened
I feel like cold, cold steel.
 
But time marches on and you’re never really home
And you’re never really home until Gabriel blows his horn
 
We’ve seen the storm clouds and we’ve felt the rain
We’ve seen the sun as it kissed a new day.
Things aren’t the same around here anymore
You can feel it in the wind kicking up a storm
You can feel it your bones
As you drive on down the road
To the place that I, that I call home
Last night I dreamed I was looking through some things
Things that I had long ago packed them all away
All the letters and the pain
The secrets and the shame
The dream is over, but the memories stain
Nothing lasts forever
You know the warmth gives way to winter
Pain gives way to laughter and the cycle begins again
Things aren’t the same around here anymore
You can feel it in the wind kicking up a storm
You can feel it your bones
As you drive on down the road
To the place that I, that I call home
(I can feel it in my bones)
I drove to the church, but I didn’t go in
Just wanted to hear them church bells ring
Things aren’t the same around here anymore
You can feel it in the wind kicking up a storm
You can feel it your bones
As you drive on down the road
To the place that I, that I call home
Time marches on
On and on and on
I can feel it in the wind kicking up a storm
Time marches on
On and on and on
You can never go back to the place you were before
You can never go back to the place you were before
