Catie Curtis Dad's Yard
It's got an old chair that's got no seat Cracked snowshoes and warped wooden skis Hardcover books, pages all turned brown Dad has a reason for everything he keeps around So if you need something when times get hard You can probably find it in my dad's yard And if you need hope, if you're coming apart You can surely find it in my dad's heart. You never really know just what might be in store If you go in the barn and open the boxes on the second floor 'Cause underneath the paper crumpled up in balls You might find a gem or you might find nothing at all And that's the fun of it, it's that mystery And all these things burying other people's history You can look at this stuff and wonder where it's been Or you can pick it up and you can use it again So if you need something when times get hard You can probably find it in my dad's yard And if you need hope, if you're coming apart You can surely find it in my dad's heart. He can see the beauty beneath the dust and the grime He can see potential where the rest of us are blind He will polish the grey until it shines clear blue And if you know my dad, well, he won't give up on you So if you need something when times get hard You can probably find it in my dad's yard And if you need love, if you're coming apart You can surely find it in my dad's heart.
