Feels Like Home
“Feels Like Home”
Written by Irene Kelley/Peter Cooper

You can take a trip but you can’t go back
Too many times I’ve heard that
It’s prettier in clouded memory
And just today a north wind came
Tapped my shoulder, brought the grey
And a chill I know by heart came over me
*Feels like home
Though I never felt at home there
And I know that the winters were too long
Like the wind against the shutters
In a town I used to know
Anytime it looks like rain, it feels like home

You can change the present but not the past
Too many times I’ve heard that
Days like these don’t scare me anymore
There was a time when one blue breeze
Knocked me down to me knees
Now all it does is open up a door
