Creeks of Memory

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I stood before the wooden door
Key still fits after all these years
The hinges moan a lonesome sound
Like time itself shifts gears
Each footstep echoes differently
Through empty rooms and bare
These floorboards still creak in all the same places
But no one's left to care
[Chorus]
These floorboards still creak
In all the same places
Like memories speak
Through time's empty spaces
[Verse 2]
Mom's garden window, scratched and worn
Where morning light would stream
Through curtains that she made by hand
Now packed away, it seems
I trace the marks along the wall
Where we measured how we'd grown
These floorboards still creak in all the same places
But now I walk alone
[Chorus]
These floorboards still creak
In all the same places
Like memories speak
Through time's empty spaces
[Bridge]
The kitchen table's gone now
Where we shared our daily bread
The walls still hold our laughter
But the family's gone ahead
[Verse 3]
My fingers brush the doorframe
Where pencil marks remain
Of heights and dates and childhood dreams
That won't come back again
The house remembers everything
Though boxes fill the spaces
These floorboards still creak in all the same places
And tears fall on my face
[Chorus]
These floorboards still creak
In all the same places
Like memories speak
Through time's empty spaces
