Long enough to satisfy and fast enough to boast
It may look to you like nothing much to see
But it was hard enough to climb and steep enough to coast
You can see into forever
Big enough to satisfy and home enough for me
Here's the tree-house I used to spend my night
Start by the driveway spinning up to speed
It might not be a mansion after all
But it was hard enough to climb to get to where I've been
It might not be a mountain after all
Looking through the sparkle of the sunlight in the tears
Here's the sidewalk I used to ride my bike
Careful of your grip 'cause it's a long way to the ground
So I look at where I've come and where I'm going
Well, I guess it's not as high as I remember
Love enough to satisfy and life enough to live
Soar down to the corner
But it was hard enough to climb and safe enough to sleep
Down this little slope, down my little mountain
Up this little tree, way up in my mansion
Look at the memory, think of all those years
Watch out for the branches on that apple tree
Careful of that gravel 'cause it's nasty on the knees
Well, I guess it's not as high as I remember
Better take another look before you disappear
But you should see the way it feels to me
It may look to you like nothing much to see
Jump to the first branch, walk it upside down
But you should see the way it feels to me
So long ago, not so very long though
You can see across your lifetime
I may look to you like nothing much to be
I will never be the greatest after all
Here's the old man who used to be the child
Better get a handhold before you look around
But you should see the way it feels to me
