Whistle past the orchard Down the promenade of weeds That hill gets steeper every day, it seems I've been waiting for the doorbell to chime once again Never mind the lion in the driveway He's a friend Left turn by the oak tree Growing tall, mighty, and free That's how I'd like people to remember me It's good to hear your voice again I'd almost forgotten the sound I'd almost forgotten how it ended the last time you came around Bring a couple raincoats One for me and one for you There's so many things that I wanna show you And could you pick up some coffee on your way? Maybe bring a couple beers? It's been a while since anyone has come to see me out here Never mind the lion in the driveway He's a thief
