Lyrics

Well we got in just after sundown
We took a walk down towards the shore 
We heard those instruments beating 
Behind that old red door 

The water flowed like wine 
Or something like that 
The oxtail soup we could not ignore 
Here's another log for the fire 
There's another knock on the door 

So, so long I'm leaving home today
So, so long Just the memories remain 

Well it's warm as the family cello 
Or the fiddler we all grew to adore 
Got a new song for us to sing together 
It just walked on through the door 

So, so long I'm leaving home today 
So, so long Just the memories remain
