lyrics

Used to be nothing, once upon a time,
A small hollow in a thickening of pines.
Grandpa bought the land back in 1949,
Put up four walls around his wife and child.

And every summer from the time I was five,
I stayed with Grandpa at his place in the pines.
Sleeping under stars on the warmer nights,
Till Grandpa died sippin' on a Colt '45.

Dad said he'd sell the place but wouldn't set a price,
And I guess he never found anyone who'd buy
That broken down shack, a few ghosts in the pines,
And after Dad died, the place became mine.

When the world ended, I wasn't much surprised:
Things only last as long as the good Lord provides.
Like Grandpa's place, lost among the pines,
Things get built and fall down in time.

So, I made my way back to the hollow in the pines:
Four walls and a caved in roof and the snow falling fine.
And I stay up nights under stars' dimming light,
And I wonder what the end will look like this time.

Lights go out, then, one by one they come back on,
And on and on and on...
