I spun around five times and open my eyes and there was a little window with an old Listerine bottle that I dug up in the backyard an hourglass an old wall phone with a dial and A 10 two and four Dr Pepper bottle I have a bunch of old crap that I like looking at so I wrote a song about it. Like I do every week.
nostalgic memories
why do we keep these old things around
things we dug up things we found
ancient things from long ago
things from above things from below
they take us back to a slower time
back when a phone call took a dime
bottles I dug up in my backyard
with ancient pottery or at least a shard
artifacts from our long lost past
A record of things that didn’t last
The window
