Two Tin Cans And A Length Of String - Her Space Holiday

I’m finding it funny our future feels lighter

Despite all the weight and the bits of bad news

I will get stronger and you will get healthy

Like two child stars who nail their cues

Each scene is acted and beautifully Crafted, with rhythm and reason

That’s brilliantly true

The credits are rolling the crowd is

Applauding there will be nothing

But four star reviews

We love you we love you

We love you we love you

We love you we love you

We want you back home

Please understand

That there is no need to worry

Perfectly able of running the show

We love you we love you

We love you we love you

We love you we love you

We want back home

In the town where I grew up

There was no one else

Just the both of us

With two tin cans and a length of string

That carried the words from you to me

So we sat and we talked

About sharing our days in every way

On a big pink porch with a broken swing

Sitting arm and arm

And resting cheek to cheek

We’d blink our eyes, exchange a smile

Knowing that this is the rest of our lives

This is love

I remember the day that the spot was found

The kids moved back just to help us out

You held yourself with such dignity

Saying: «The last thing I want

Is to burden you three,»

He would draw, and she would read

And I would pray

And the pets would sleep

I know that time wasn’t so easy

But to me we never felt more like a family

This is love

After some time things got a little hard

So we checked you in

And kept checking your charts

I wonder if any part of you knew

That two weeks later we’d be sharing the room

So we sat and we talked about how we spent our years

With the laughter and tears

On big white beds with old gray sheets

It was just like being back on that swing

This is love

In the town where I grew up

There was no one else

Just the both of us

On a big pink porch with a broken swing

Sitting arm and arm

And resting cheek to cheek

Now this is love

We want you back home
