This Empty House

Here's the bed where we once slept together

Here's the table where we'd sit and dine

Here's your coat that kept you from the weather

Here's your glass from which you'd sip your wine

The hallway's silent, no more calls of greeting

The mirror won't reflect your face again

Empty now, my heart that I hear beating

There's no gentle song, no sweet refrain

When you left, my precious world was broken

There's nothing now I want to call my own

All your thoughts and wishes left unspoken

In this empty house I stand alone

Here's the path we'd walk along together

Here's the river where we'd sit and smile

Here's the life I thought we'd have forever

Here's the future I can't reconcile

The days seem longer and I'm feeling broken

Broken by the thought that you're not here

How I miss our precious times together

Will these feelings ever disappear

When you left, my precious world was broken

There's nothing now I want to call my own

All your thoughts and wishes left unspoken

In this empty house I stand alone

When you left, my precious world was broken

There's nothing now I want to call my own

All your thoughts and wishes left unspoken

In this empty house I stand alone
