Milkwood Dreamers - Rooftops Lyrics
Top floor of this house of dreams, I hear you playing your guitarTaking a chair, I pick up my old arch-top, looking down on to the world belowRooftops are all I see, looking out our windowBranches bend before the windGarden hose snakes across a dry summer lawnThe clouds roll byBurning candles with our friends, voices are shadows on the wallCounting the days that lay ahead like hwy markers, like mountain roads the rise and fallStill here we are, singing songs together, looking out on to a wonderlandRooftops are all I see, looking out our windowBranches bend beneath the stormSnowmen gaze up to a cold winter skyThe clouds roll inBrick and mortar, nails and wood, holding together these four wallsTime rolls by, gathering memories, hung like portraits in the hallWe’ll be old folks, still playing our guitars, looking out on to the world we’ve madeRooftops are all I see, looking out our windowFlowers dancing with the windWatching Sam playing in the back yardThe clouds roll awayThe clouds roll awayRooftops are all I see x 3
