lyrics

We’re moving house today, all the memories we had,
Some will drift away, and others they’ll take us back,
To good times we had, friends we loved and tidings glad,
They’re never gonna change, tho’ we can never have them back.

We’ve got to pack it up and say good-bye
See the passing years close my eyes

We’re moving house today, to get a different point of view.
Another neighbourhood, another lawn collecting dew.
I kinda liked our place, if we could only stay a while,
I’d contemplate the past and all the friends that made me smile.

Can’t live in the past, can’t find a way to make it last.
Time’ll take it’s toll, all the years are flashing past.
Another girl I knew, another life I lived before,
A friend I half recall, he never made it to twenty four.

Guess I could’ve helped them through, but life’s too short to make amends,
All the people I held true, I wonder where your lives will end.

Pack our things we’ve got to go
We’ll be back before you know

HTC now records and releases music as 'The Family Grave'.
