lyrics

I’ve painted corners of this house
Nobody will ever see.
These lives I’ve led.
These tears I’ve shed.
I’ve painted corners of this house.

We lived, we laughed, we longed, we loved within these walls.
We dreamed, we planned, we fought, we cried, we played.
And now old photographs are all that’s left of us,
The memories have all begun to fade.

And now the weeds grow
And now the weeds grow
And now the weeds grow
And now the weeds grow
Where people used to sleep.

We had a child once, I think, if I remember right.
Then again it could have been a dog.
We drift like ghosts and pass among these plasterboards,
The house a living catalog.

And now the weeds grow
And now the weeds grow
And now the weeds grow
And now the weeds grow
Where people used to sleep.

The sun shines bitter on the roof.
The rain falls uglier than truth.
Windows crack, the ceiling drips,
Floorboards rot, lead paint chips.

Thick roots wrap like fingers
’Round rusted sewer pipes
Green shoots poke through cracks in concrete
Reaching for the light.

The sun shines bitter on the roof.
The rain falls heavier than truth.
I’ve painted corners of this house
Nobody will ever see.
And now the weeds grow
Where people used to sleep.

about

Zapatero Havertown, Pennsylvania

“Sometimes verging on the experimental, else playing in the middle of the dance-floor… Zapatero is a musician who creates music simply for the joy of making music, to get away from the mundanities of life, which gives his songs their honesty and vitality, making them such a delight to hear.” – Tim Whale, Emerging Indie Bands ... more
