Lyrics for This House Is Empty Now by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Painted From Memory | | Track: | This House Is Empty Now | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 67 | | | | Lyrics: | These rooms play tricks upon you
Remember when they were always filled with laughter?
But
now they're quite deserted
They seem to just echo voices raised in anger
Maybe you will
see my face
Reflected there on the pane
In the window of our poor
Forlorn and broken
home
Still this house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to
stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to live without you?
These walls were lined
with pictures
Remember the glass we charged in celebration?
But now I fill my life
up
With all that I can to deaden this sensation
Do you recognize the face
Fixed
in that fine silver frame
Were you really so unhappy then?
You never said
So
this house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me
how
Am I supposed to live without you?
Oh, if I could just become
forgetful
When night seems endless
Does the extinguished candle care
About the
darkness?
It's funny how my mem’ry
Will bring you so close then make you
disappear
Meanwhile all our friends must choose
Who they will favour, who they will
lose
Hang the garland high or close the door
And throw away the key
This house
is empty now
There's no one living here
You have to care about
This house is empty
now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how
Am I
supposed to live without you?
This house is empty now
There's no one living
here
You have to care about
This house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To
make you want to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to live without you | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
