[Intro]
[Verse]
Ninety today
And she still knows her way
Back to the spring house
And the ash grove near the pond
[Verse]
She was just fifteen
When she last saw these trees
And she felt prim
Back in Nineteen Twenty-Nine
[Pre-Chorus]
Chestnuts line the lane
Autumn leaves ablaze
She s come home
[Chorus]
N.C.
Even though the house is gone
Even though it s been so long
Still she s not afraid
Even when it s all uphill
Somehow she finds the will
To meet the sun halfway
[Verse]
Running through these fields
With her shadow at her heels
She gets lost
In the way it used to be
[Verse]
But it s only in her mind
Cause time has been unkind
And now her memories
Are all that she can see
[Pre-Chorus]
Chestnuts line the lane
Autumn leaves ablaze
Home sweet home
[Chorus]
N.C.
Even though the house is gone
Even though it s been so long
Still she s not afraid
Even when it s all uphill
Somehow you find the will
To meet the sun halfway
[Interlude]
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la laa
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la laa
[Chorus]
N.C.
Even though the house is gone
Even though it s been so long
Still she s not afraid
Even when it s all uphill
Somehow you find the will
To meet the sun halfway___
Meet the sun halfway___
Meet the sun half----way______
