The living room
And the curly sheepskin rug we called "the furry"
And sometimes I wonder why the plastic clock
The macramé owl, and the butcher block couch are on my mind
I wonder why my parents chose a brown and orange scheme
And why that seemed okay to me
I wonder why the kitchen was an avocado green
And the upstairs bathroom was peach
The northern lights
We saw them in Vermont one night from the car
But only once
I wonder why the aliens who landed on the roof left me there
And didn't take me to the sky
I've escaped into my childhood memories tonight
I wonder why my corduroys were always light blue
And I never had a TV in my bedroom
Just a flame from an electric candle on my windowsill
And I dreamed of my melodies touching you
I wonder why the Marimekko fabric on the wall was ever taken down
I wonder how a transistor radio held up to my ear
Brought me to heaven
And it's still leading me here
