Empty House

Empty house
 You remind of when I was ten years old
 Staring at your wall, feeling mighty old
 Promising myself I'd never get too bold
 Empty house
 Your silence holds secrets I can't keep
 And the bird in her cage never falls asleep
 She wails into the night and fails to give me peace
 But in my hand
 I hold the picture of a man
 Who once loved me long ago
 When he told me
 "What you need to understand is
 You'll never be alone
 No matter, no matter time
 Whatever space, right down to the line
 You will find
 Another face, new love to shine
 A change of pace, a brand new rhyme
 You won't be on your own"
 Empty heart
 Your memories are following me to bed
 They've crawled into my pillow
 Now they're stuck inside my head
 I've tried so hard to leave them
 But they've re-emerged instead
 This house she could inspire
 This house she could revive
 I'm stuck here with desired
 But at least I'm still alive
 I don't know what I'm chasing
 My breath is running out
 My mind, she is racing
 With you in her no doubt
 But in my hand
 I hold the picture of a man
 Who once loved me long ago
 When he told me
 "What you need to understand is
 You'll never be alone
 No matter place, no matter time
 Whatever space, right down to the line
 You will find
 Another face, a new love to shine
 A change of pace, a brand new rhyme
 You won't be on your own"
