This House Is Empty Now |
| 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 liv without you? |
| These walls wer 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 the memory |
| Will bring you so close then make you disappear |
| Meanwhile all our friends must choose |
| Who they will favor, 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? |
