It was up above that christened chest
In a home on the grass, with flowers laid to rest
And there I stood, some forty years old
Flowers in my hand
Out in the cold
It was covered in dust and the air was so old
But my eyes felt young and my spirit felt bold
In pictures I was a simple young man
With a million little folds and a smile you couldn't stand
Oh, no
Oh, the cottage I dreamed
When I suffered and screamed
Oh, the cottage I never forgot
By the cottage I thought
there'd be a quiet little stream
By the cottage I knelt before God
It was framed in wood
And the wood was so dark
It had a thousand memories
I was singing about the lark
When you held my hand
And you told me goodbye
When you nearly couldn't stand the sight
Of the birds flying away
Away
It was a picture of you
Running around a tree
It was long overdue
Cause now you couldn't see
The cracks in my floors
Or the window with the sea
I just want you
To know
Oh, the cottage I dreamed
When I suffered and screamed
Oh, the cottage I never forgot
By the cottage I thought
there'd be a quiet little stream
By the cottage I knelt before God
By the cottage, I was by faint clouds of dust
And, by and bye, the worst it was through
By the cottage I stayed, by the river I swayed
But I never forgot about you
About you
