Lyrics:
Wars are won
By those who quit
And leave dead dreams behind

And chores get done
When one forgets
How the time is ticking by

Genevieve come home
Walk across this stoop
Walk across this springtime floor

Genevieve come home
I’ve been taking care
Finally got my act together

We were betrayed
By common sense
The wild chance we never got

Hide nor hair
An empty nest
So much politeness,
Gone amok

Genevieve come home
Walk across this stoop
Walk across this summer floor
Genevieve come home
I baked your favorite bread
It’s true this river, yearns to flow

That ancient trail
Past the rock slide
I walked it just the other day

Bowlin’ over
This highland rover
The heart,
The land
We knew the best

Genevieve come home
Walk across this stoop
Walk across this autumn floor
Genevieve come home
Brush burned brown
Forgive those roads, gone down before
Inst.

And you're the only one I’ve ever known
That gets a leg full of mosquito bites
In the time it takes to tie your shoe

And you're the only one I’ve ever known
That swayed and shook
When we kept it simple, pure and true

And you're the only one I’ve ever known
Who knew exactly what she needed
Called me from Dublin, didn’t have a clue

Genevieve come home
Walk across this stoop
Walk across this wintered floor
Genevieve come home
Got on your favorite shirt
It’s true my mind burns different now
It’s true my mind burns different
