Mickey Newbury - 116 Westfield Street lyrics

Here on this street was the house That once sheltered us all I can still feel the love that lived In these old rotting walls Oh who would have thought It could ever come tumbling down Nothing is certain And certainly nothing is sure Only a dream so it seems Is sure to endure My life is measured In small bits and pieces of time Small bits and pieces of life That perfectly rhyme Here on this street is the house That once sheltered us all Oh I can still hear the laughter That once followed me down the hall Who would have thought It could ever come tumbling down That is my childhood Oh nothing is certain And certainly nothing is sure Only a dream so it seems Will be sure to endure My life is measured In small bits and pieces of time Small bits and pieces of life That perfectly rhyme 116 Westfield Street
