lyrics

The rain falls slow and heavy
On this old roof
My lids they grow so heavy
And fall down over these eyes

The cars drive slowly by
Slowly by this old house
Nobody walks through the gate
The house sits empty tonight

You're gone and you won't return
Ever to this old house
You're gone and you won't return
Ever to this old house

I've nailed the windows shut
The air is dead in this house
The flowers have withered and died
Petals they fall to the ground

There's no one to watch as I walk
To the top of the stairs
There's no one to care as I'm perched
On the old stairhead

What's to hold onto
When all it takes to be with you
Is one small move
One small move

Why hold onto my life
Everything in this house is dead
The neighbors have all stopped calling
The line to this house is dead

You're gone and you won't return
Ever to this old house
You're gone and you won't return
Ever to me in this old house
