Hammock

There was a hammock by the bay

On an old wooden porch

A silence broke the day

As it snowed on the mountain

And I can't stop this feeling

Of seeing your face

As I lie there swaying and I close my eyes

But oh, as I grow old

And the Hammock no longer sways

The icy ocean breeze

And the hammock's warm embrace

Stay present in my mind

As a place where I may rest

To feel like home again

There was a hammock by the bay

With trees so green

How the birds would sing to them

Is what I hear when you look at me

And I can't stop this feeling

Of seeing your face

As I lie there swaying and I close my eyes

But oh as I grow old

And the hammock is taken away

The icy ocean breeze

And the hammock's warm embrace

Stay present in my mind

As a place where I may rest

To feel like home again

The hammock saw laughter

And the tears that I cried

And it saw the dreams

That reside in my mind

When I think of it now

I imagine me floating

I want to stay in that moment

I want to stay here by the ocean

But oh, as I grow old

And my hair has turned grey

The icy ocean breeze

And the hammock's warm embrace

Stay present in my mind

As I place my head to rest

To feel like home again

It takes me back home again

Take me back home…

Again.
