Sally Seltmann Holly Drive lyrics

There's a certain time of day
When I go for a walk in the sunlight
All the cracks and the crevices
Are holding in the darkness so tight

Heavy heart
I'll protect you
Weathered soul
I won't neglect you

'Cause there's a sunny disposition on the outside
On the outside
But it's a shady place I live in on the inside
On the inside
Fingers and bones and cobwebs and holes
In the carpet
Feel the beat of my shoes on the street
Until I make it
Back home

People often say
I'm a lot like the man from Paris, Texas
But here I am on Holly Drive
With hummingbirds and sunny skies, protected

Heavy heart
I'll protect you
Weathered soul
I won't neglect you


'Cause there's a sunny disposition on the outside
On the outside
But it's a shady place I live in on the inside
On the inside
Fingers and bones and cobwebs and holes
In the carpet
Feel the beat of my shoes on the street
Until I make it
Back home

Little old house in the middle of the street
I saw you open the gate and I saw you leave
Living in a story book neighbourhood
Complicated, misunderstood

There's a sunny disposition on the outside
On the outside
But it's a shady place I live in on the inside
On the inside
Fingers and bones and cobwebs and holes
In the carpet
Feel the beat of my shoes on the street
Until I make it
Back home
