Tom Larsen - pictures on the wall Lyrics

Didn't know it'd be the last time, I'd walk through that door
I don't recognize this place anymore
And I always knew that one day, I'd have to say goodbye
But part of my heart stayed behind

And the pictures are still hanging on the wall
And the children are still running in the hall
And after all the remnants of this old life are gone
I'll always know, this love was the anchor holding on

My dad told me he loved me, said "Tom, you'll be okay
Tears in our eyes as they drove away
And all the memories I'd forgotten, came suddenly into view
And how they all led me to you

And the pictures are still hanging on the wall
And the children are still playing in the hall
And after all the remnants of this old life are gone
I'll always know, this love was the anchor holding on

And the pictures are still hanging on the wall
And Max is outside playing with his ball
The makings of a childhood, you blink and then it's gone
But I'll always know, this love was the anchor holding on
