Little Yellow House
Journey Beyond the Yellow House
Lyrics
There's a little yellow house
There exists a small yellow-colored house
Where someone used to live
Once inhabited by someone
Even after a fire almost
Despite a previous fire that nearly destroyed it
Burned it down once
Almost burnt down the house
A little yellow house
Again referring to the small yellow house
With a cross on the door
Identified by a cross symbol on its door
Where someone used to live who
Formerly inhabited by someone
Don't live there no more
Who no longer resides there
There was no sign of a struggle
No evidence of a conflict or altercation
Of a fight or of foul play
No signs of a physical struggle, argument, or foul play
Looks like they just got into their car
Seems like they simply left by car
Drove themselves away
They drove away on their own
Left everything they had just as it was
Abandoned everything they owned as it was
Without so much as a word to
Without communicating or saying anything
Anyone of us
To anyone around
Sometimes I dream that I'm the one
Occasionally dreams of being the one leaving
Who is driving away
Driving away without a destination
And I don't know where I'm going
Unsure of the destination, but far away
But it's a long ways away
Traveling on a rural road
Going down some country road
Where hay grows tall
With the hay growing tall
Surrounded by colorful autumn trees
And the beautiful trees in all the colors
Everything needed is already there
Of the fall
Driving until disappearing from sight
And I that I need is right with me here
Recollection of promises made
And I drive and I drive until I disappear
Commitments to others
Then I remember all those promises I made
Memories of obligations and vows
All the ones depending on me
Responsibilities to those reliant on the speaker
And so here is where I stay
Choosing to remain in the current place
