How would you know? So far from home Weatherman called it "a terrible storm" Watching a talk show, a warning appears "The strongest winds that have swept through in years" And a tree fell on your house when you were gone A tree fell on your house when you were gone So how is it there? You and your pair Do you feel sheltered, protected and cared for? I'm doing fine at the School For The Blind It's a job I was very prepared for A tree fell on your house when you were gone A tree fell on your house when you were gone It's a disaster that days move much faster Faster and farther away from you He came around and he blew our house down Had plenty of places to take you to I hate to be the bearer of bad news But at least this way I get to talk to you A tree fell on your house when you were gone A tree fell on your house when you were gone
