Backstory:

My co-writer Wade had a cool melody but no lyric idea. He asked me to listen and see if I could come up with the lyrics. Hence Familiar Things.  The orignal melody was not in a commercial song structure so I did work for hire melody work to lengthen and slightly modify it.                                   

Lyrics:

                                                  
FAMILIAR THINGS
VERSE ONE
I'm sittin on this porch
Feet touchin’ worn floor boards
Seein th'same old sights
Under the cloudy sky

Red bird on the fence post 
Corn we planted, in those straight rows 
Our hearts carved in that tall oak
Tire swingin, from that frayed old rope

CHORUS
These are familiar things 
Make me smile, still they sting
Draw my mind right back to the time
I was yours and you were mine
Those days, they’re long over
No use wishin' on a clover
Sometimes my heart just really needs
Familiar Things

VERSE TWO
All, the katydids still sing 
Hear ‘em, from our wood swing
Trains whistle in the night
I turn off the front porch light

Frogs croak from the moss pond 
While the fireflies light up the lawn 
And the call of that brown Marsh Wren
Always makes me, remember when

CHORUS
Instrumental Bridge

OUTRO
I'm still here
where you belong
