When we were children
We built a tree house
Out of wood and nails
With the help of my dad
He was a strong man
As big as that oak tree
With his roots set deep
In his family
We went away
We turned away
We look away
And they’re gone
And it’s gonna take a long time
To stop crying
And it’s a long time
For the call
It’s gonna take a long time
to stop crying
And for all times
he’ll be in my song
It’s gonna be a long time
After all
It seems like such a short time
and they fall
And it’s gonna take a long time
To stop cryin
And it’s a long time
for the call
It’s gonna take a long time
for me to stop cryin
And for all times
he’ll be in my song
It’s gonna be a long time
after all
It seems like such a short time
and they fall
