This empty kitchen's where
|
I'd while away the hours
|
Just next to my old chair
|
You'd usually have some flowers
|
The shelves of books
|
Even the picture hooks
|
Everything is gone
|
But my heart is hanging on
|
|
If this old neighbourhood
|
Survived us both alright
|
Don't know that it withstood
|
All the things that took our light
|
You on the stair
|
I can see you there
|
Everything is gone
|
But my heart is hanging on
|
|
Once there was a little girl
|
Used to wonder what she would be
|
Went out into the big wide world
|
Now she's just a memory
|
There used to be a little school here
|
Where I learned to write my name
|
But time has been a little cruel here
|
Time has no shame
|
|
It's just a place where
|
We used to live
|
It's just a place where
|
We used to live
|
|
Now in another town
|
You lead another life
|
And now upstairs and down
|
You're someone else's wife
|
Here in the dust
|
There's not a trace of us
|
Everything is gone
|
But my heart is hanging on
|
|
It's just a place where
|
We used to live
|
It's just a place where
|
We used to live
|
