Two Houses Lyrics

I saw your forlorn face today

In the form of a forsaken derelict house

The place bore many decades' decay

'Though it's four years and three days

Since you went south

Cracked wooden lips

Framed the abyss

In its doorway of a mouth

Torn curtain tears

Streamed from its broken window eyes

I still live in the old house you knew

I still sleep in the same room

You shared with me

I maintain all that I'm able to

'Though the roof lets the rain through

And it rains constantly

And some days

I retrace

The route I used to take

Between your house and mine

Just to be by your side

So long ago

So long ago
