Old House
words and music by Terri Camilari
There's an old house down on Lovelace Lane
Once was beautiful but now people see it as an eyesore shame
Roof is full of holes
Weeds are climbing free
But in my mind I see it as it used t be
No one goes in or out; doors are locked down tight
Daylight reveals her flaws but, oh, what a grand silhouette in the moonlight
Can’t quite call it a home
Chilly inside and dark
I walk by with a tear of my own
Emptiness in my heart
Old house, empty now, old hurts are new somehow
Broken windows let the cold in
Broken hearts afraid of holding someone new
Took one chance too few
(interlude)
As we grow older, so much of beauty fades
Ghostly memories linger and comfort from passion evades
When is it too late
To save the condemned
From a loneliness fraught with a fear to begin again
Old house, empty now, old hurts are new somehow
Broken windows let the cold in
Broken hearts afraid of holding someone new
Old house, empty now, old hurts are new somehow
Broken windows let the cold in
Broken hearts afraid of holding someone new
Took one chance too few
Daddy’s Come Home
Words and music by Terri Camilari
Sound of the car in the drive way
Her heart skips inside
Run from chair down the stairway
And leap into his arms
He laughs and twirls her in circles
She knows everything’s alright
Daddy’s come home
Daddy’s come home
Daddy’s come home
Daddy’s come home
After years of fatherly advice
And times he didn’t listen
Long distance calls and airplane flights
A long walk down the aisle
She places her baby in his arms
Knowing loves the legacy
Daddy’s come home
Chorus then
Musical Interlude
Lilies fill the air
She combs his silver hair
Sunlight through the window sheers
Takes her back through all the years
There’s a line of cars on the highway
She brushes a tear from her face
Longing to have just one more day
Reflected in his eyes
They stand in a sunlit circle
His name carved on the stone
Daddy’s come home
Chorus 2x
Same Game
Words and music by Terri Camilari
I come home and you’re gone again
Packing up the promises we made back then
We were young, we believed
All it took was faith in simple dreams
Times got tough we hit a dead end
I come home and we’re gone again
It’s the same game, played by fools
Different names, same old rules
In a wider frame, the truth is cruel
Same game, same old rules
Little girl with a house of dolls
So many questions, told just because
Tell me true, Is this how love will be?
With the perfect home and perfect family?
Looking back at love she knows she’s lost
That little girl with a house of dolls
Chorus
Year after year, day after day
Make ends meat make your own way
We all dreamed how life would be
Exceptions to the rule a way of living free
No way around what life gives and takes
Year after year and day after day
Chorus
The Lost Years
words by Gordon Glantz and Terri Camilari, music by Terri Camilari
On the top of a mountain there’s a fear of falling
At the bottom of a canyon, it’s too high to climb
Lost in the wind is eerie voice that’s calling
Lost too much beyond this wall of time
When I was a child my whole world was inside
I traveled all over in my mind
When I grew older life drew me outside
I saw the things that take years from our lives
Somewhere beyond the wall there shines a light
I can’t see it but I know it’s there
Unconscious by day and restless by night
I walk in dreams that billow in the air
Chorus
I’m walking down a road that leads to the sea
One day I’ll reach it and life will begin
The waves will wash over and I’ll sail clean and free
Free to find the lost child within
Chorus 2x
Don’t Forget (I Love You)
Words and music by Terri Camilari
I hold your hand, you ask my name
You don’t remember me and it’s hard for me to see
We look through photographs, moments out of time
Faces you knew before, not familiar anymore
Then you look at me in that same old way
And I know it’s me you see, when you say
Sit with me a while, Let me see that smile
And I sit awhile and I smile
Don’t forget I love
Always and from the very start
Don’t forget I love you
From the bottom of my heart
Sitting here with you, it all looks the same
In your brown eye ringed with blue how I wish you knew me too
Remember playing catch in the yard
And how we used to sing on the car
Christmas mornings, bedtime stories
Summer’s at the sea
Don’t forget I love
Always and from the very start
Don’t forget I love you
From the bottom of my heart
I love you
Daddy loves you
Don't forget, I love you
Strange
Words and music by Terri Camilari
They say don’t trust your feelings
They’re elusive they change
Yet seeing you after so much time
Seems the feelings remain the same
Tucked you away convinced myself
You were long ago, but no
Now I see you were a shadow on the wall
Moonlight cross the floor, sun through the glass
Strange
Strange to think of you in someone else’s arm
Since I’ve been gone, how things moved on
Strange
Strange
I still hear your voice in my ear
Now so many words unsaid I long to hear
How could I know? How could you go?
She’s your soulmate and best friend
In your heart did you believe?
That our love could ever end
All I have to give you now is letting go
Strange
Strange
Strange to think of you in someone else’s arm
Since I’ve been gone, how things moved on
Strange
Strange
Strange
So, Strange
Fall Away
words and music by Terri Camilari
I wore a mask everyday*
In what I did and what I’d say
But in the evening when I’d come home
I faced the truth on my own
I lived my life by the rules
Was I right or just a fool
No way to know, the past is past
It was time to shed the mask
And when it falls away
All that’s left is me
Nothing left to say
‘Cause you get what you see
When it all falls away, it all falls away from me
And I’m free
(interlude)
So here I am, let it be
Can’t be concerned with what you think of me
I’ll always love you, everyday
I dropped the ruse and found my way
And when it falls away
All that’s left is me
Nothing left to say
‘Cause you get what you see
When it all falls away, it all falls away from me
And I’m free
*I hid myself everyday (post pandemic lyric)
