She's Gone Lyrics

Was a time this house stood tall
With thirst and pride
And love held it together strong
Was a time these walls held me inside
A joy my heart knew it could build a life upon
Was a time these rooms were arms that kept me warm
Gave me cause to settle down

Now the wind just blows the past around
And this house settles deeper in the ground
Was a time this doorway reached for me
And closed behind me saying I was home
This empty fireplace that stares at me
Once burned a fire that I know you have ever known
These wilted roses sent with promises Have shared the happiness that I had found
Now the wind just blows the past around
And this house just settles deeper in the ground

There’s a time I knew her laughter like my face
And her smile took away my wings
And her hands held me a prisoner
In a world so full of love that I had everything
And this freedom that I’m feelin’ now is doom for me
Now that I know she’s gone, she’s gone
The wind just blows the past around
And this house settles deeper in the ground
(repeat)
