lion and the lady
This house will still stand hereAfter we've gone awayThe fence will still wrapAround the colored gateThese blinds will still shut their eyesWhen sun hits your pillow caseThese drapes will still turn their faceto catch the blinding raysDon't turn your head awayBeside the fallen winter grass in the yardDon't look behind the lion or the ladyDon't look behind the doorsA friend of my motherHe painted a gardenIt hung on our ceilingBut it hangs there no moreThese walls of my childhoodHave been painted overBut what lies behind is a mural of ivyDon't turn your head awayBeside the fallen winter grass in the yardDon't look behind the lion or the ladyDon't look behind the doors
