Whistle past the orchard
Down the promenade of weeds
That hill gets steeper every day, it seems
I’ve been waiting for the doorbell to chime once again
Never mind the lion in the driveway
He’s a friend

Left turn by the oak tree
Growing tall, mighty, and free
That’s how I’d like people to remember me
It’s good to hear your voice again
I’d almost forgotten the sound
I’d almost forgotten how it ended the last time 
You came around

Bring a couple raincoats
One for me and one for you
There’s so many things that I wanna show you
And could you pick up some coffee on your way?
Maybe bring a couple beers?
It’s been a while since anyone has come to see me 
Out here

Never mind the lion in the driveway
He’s a thief
