Lyrics
Dear Occupant Written by: Susan Kane Hello dear occupant, please open this It's like a message in a bottle, I hope you can't resist I used to live here in your house A long time ago Now I'm a lot older I'm a right old scarecrow There's a lot that I remember And probably more that I forget I left it all such a long time It's a dim silhouette Had no brothers or sisters, I was a solitary child I had lots of time on my hands and no need for guile My mom never talked too much, my dad he played cards Or worked on his roses in what's now your backyard I had the place to myself, upstairs and down And in my own little kingdom, I wore a rhinestone crown. They say that memory's a weak thing, it just can't hold up Like a mirror that's lost its silver, it gets all fogged up But some things are just as clear to me now as they were way back then Time's not always a straight thing, sometimes it twists and bends But still I was happy there, I hope you are too A reply's not expected, this note's just passing through Please don't send me any pictures, my mind's eye will do Don't want to see any changes, no modern day views Though I'm a thousand miles away, and someone you've never known, They say that home is where the heart is, my heart is in your home.
