[Verse 1]
My grandmother's house is still there
But it isn't the same
A plain wooden cottage
A patch of brown lawn
And a fence that hangs bending and sighing
In the Seattle rain
[Verse 2]
I drive past the strangers
And wish they could see what I see
A tangle of summer birds
Flying in sunlight
A forest of lilies
An orchard of apricot trees
[Chorus]
Secret gardens of the heart
Where the flowers bloom forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter
[Verse 3]
Great-grandfather's house is still there
But it isn't the same
The barn is torn down
And the fences are gone
The Idaho wind blows
The topsoil away every spring
My grandmother's house is still there
But it isn't the same
A plain wooden cottage
A patch of brown lawn
And a fence that hangs bending and sighing
In the Seattle rain
[Verse 2]
I drive past the strangers
And wish they could see what I see
A tangle of summer birds
Flying in sunlight
A forest of lilies
An orchard of apricot trees
[Chorus]
Secret gardens of the heart
Where the flowers bloom forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter
[Verse 3]
Great-grandfather's house is still there
But it isn't the same
The barn is torn down
And the fences are gone
The Idaho wind blows
The topsoil away every spring
