about

A moody tale with a visual transcript outlining the fairy-tale notion of the white picket fence.

lyrics

Way over yonder in the minor key
Sits a little girl in the shade of a tree
Sketching her life the way its meant to be
House on a hill with a brick chimney

Smoke bellows out in the evening light
Suns going down and the moon is bright
Cobblestone path leads to her door
flowers grow wild in the brazen soil

Wipe out the thoughts of forever
Tear down the windows that see
Knock down the door that surrenders
Purge/Erase all the thoughts of you and me

Pencil in hand she creates a scene
White picket fence, a fairy-tale dream
Tree to the east, cloud in the sky
Stick figure birds in a flock drift by

Wipe out the thoughts of forever
Tear down the windows that see
Knock down the door that surrenders
Purge/Erase all the thoughts of you and me

Instrumental over the chorus

Way over yonder in the burning sun
Plays a little boy when the day is done
Pushing his truck through the dirt and mud
Couldn’t care less about a yearning heart

Wipe out the thoughts of forever
Tear down the windows that see
Knock down the door that surrenders
Purge/Erase all the thoughts of you and me
