HINDSIGHT
When the roof caved in, so unplanned for,
We both covered our heads and ran for the open door.
It was a shrapnel fall - a splintered oaken beam 
That fell in twisted arrows down - or so it seemed.
We should have seen it coming, yes we should, so long in the rain and sun it stood
But the air was cold and the wind was thin
When the roof caved in.
 
When our house was built, when our life was planned,
It stood on what seemed solid rock, that turned to sand
It was small and warm, no castle high, 
Just enough to make a home for you and I.
 
We should have seen it coming, yes we should, so long in the rain and sun it stood
But there was too much fire and strength of wills
When our house was built.
 
When the walls came down
Some time had passed
Where once had stood a ruin, was a field of grass
Where the wild rose and the berry vine
Took back to their hearts what had been yours and mine.
 
We should have seen it coming, yes we should, so long in the rain and sun it stood
That it couldn't end as fallow ground
We should have seen it coming, yes we should, so long in the rain and sun it stood
So we made our peace and moved along
When the walls came down.
