Julie's House - Leo Kottke

I climbed the hill to Julie’s house

The place I used to live

I climbed the steps and tried the door

And let myself in The kitchen clock I used to watch

Had stopped at five to five

A photograph I’d never seen

A car came up the drive

I stood outside the kitchen door

And when she turned her head

I said that I was back to stay

She laughed at what I said

She said that I’d grow old believing

That I was what mattered most

That I’d uncover real feelings

As I got close

I climbed the hill to Julie’s house

The place I used to live

I climbed the steps and tried the door

And let myself in She said that I’d grow old believing

That I was what mattered most

That I’d uncover real feelings

As I got close
