Lyrics

Dark are the windows of the house next door
The one that I love doesn't live there any more
Gone are the memories of the sweet summer days
My love has gone away

Cold is the chimney where the fire's gone out
Home to the bats as they flutter alll about
Mice build their nest in the kitchen unafraid
My love has gone away

Well the weeds grow tall in the garden she tended
The deer broke through the fence that she mended
Frozen in time is the moment when it ended and
My love has gone away

Brown are the flower beds that once burned with color
Yellow painted walls are slowly getting duller
Gone is the laughter of the children who played
My love has gone away

The front door is locked where we used to pass through
On Sunday afternoons when it was just we two
The path's overgrown and the violets are gray
And my love has gone away

Well the earth's still soft in the back of the yard
When the cold winds blow, it'll soon freeze hard
Frozen on her lips were the words she wouldn't say and
My love has gone away
Yeah my love has gone away
Oh my love has gone away
