Nostalgia

The sound of a wooden screen doors slam, little kids always saying, “sir and ma’am.”
Lie on your back on a hot summer day, feel the cool of the grass as the clouds float away.

Nostalgia thinking dreamily
Nostalgia it’s the place to be
Nostalgia let me show you the way
Nostalgia it was a better day
Nostalgia thinking back in time
Nostalgia when life was fine
Nostalgia I wanna go there
Nostalgia, nostalgia

Walking the barrel or climbing a pole, those things that kids these days do not know.
Grateful for breezes to cool sweaty brows, the cluck of chickens and lowing of cows.
Farm fresh milk and butter for bread, fresh peas from the garden berries of red.
Picking asparagus from the ditch bank, the one from which you earlier drank.

Nostalgia thinking dreamily
Nostalgia it’s the place to be
Nostalgia let me show you the way
Nostalgia it was a better day
Nostalgia thinking back in time
Nostalgia when life was fine
Nostalgia I wanna go there
Nostalgia, nostalgia

Taking a dip in the cool swimming hole, seeing a mares shaky legged new foal.
Work for your supper and earning your keep, never felt much like chores and at night you would sleep,
On the big feather bed on the porch lined with screen, on a nail would hang your old worn blue jeans.
At dawn you would wake to a rooster’s strong crow and rush out to see if the garden did grow.

Nostalgia thinking dreamily
Nostalgia it’s the place to be
Nostalgia let me show you the way
Nostalgia it was a better day
Nostalgia thinking back in time
Nostalgia when life was fine
Nostalgia I wanna go there
Nostalgia, nostalgia

Working and weeding and bailing of hay, was farm life’s normal working day.
Then you’d harvest your vegetables, taken to the root cellar, Gran would bottle fresh fruit, she’s the best storyteller,
and singer of songs, that make you feel glee, she is someone that you would aspire to be.
The bountiful table so chucked full of goodness, minds that seek knowledge and hearts full of pureness,
Bring back from my memory a time I once knew that we have now sadly bid adieu.

Nostalgia thinking dreamily
Nostalgia it’s the place to be
Nostalgia let me show you the way
Nostalgia it was a better day
Nostalgia thinking back in time
Nostalgia when life was fine
Nostalgia I wanna go there
Nostalgia, nostalgia
