I love to hear....... Mom's footsteps a shufflin' on the kitchen floor; The tinkle of the bell on the drugstore door, and a cool breeze ticklin' the sycamore... It takes me clean back home. Flames lickin' at the cedar in the fireplace; The reverent quiet when Dad says grace, and the purrin' o' the cat in her sleepin' place... It's 'bout like being there. The big Grandfather clock - so loud an' all; The neighborhood kids a playin' in the hall, and ol' Pastor Phillips when he'd come t' call... Sure brings back memories. Thunder crashin', and rain that splatters; Young girls gigglin' like nuttin' else matters, and circus-monks talkin' in bits and chatters... Sounds clear as yesterday. The choir a singin' on a Sunday morn; A rooster declarin' that a calf's been born, and the lonesome cry of our old Ford's horn... 'most makes you wanna cry. Now I don't hear like most folks do 'cause my ear-pans busted back in forty-two; so I sits here a lot with nothin' to do 'cept close my eyes, while I listens to... those Golden Sounds o' Home. |
Additional Notes:
I could be a kid again! Not now - but surely back then.
