| I see the house burning down
|
| The pillars, the porch and the roof
|
| The curtains that light up the room
|
| Right where they left you on the floor
|
| So it comes and goes, everyone will tell you so
|
| The ceiling’s falling down, around your feet
|
| Right where they left you, right where they left you
|
| Right where they left you, oh, right where they left you on the floor
|
| It comes and goes, everyone will tell you so
|
| The ceiling’s falling down around your feet
|
| You see it now, you’re calling out
|
| I see the house burning down
|
| And I won’t let you leave
|
| Yeah, I sit and watch from the street
|
| The smokes rising outside your room
|
| Where you let grass grow under your feet
|
| Right where they left you, right where I left you
|
| Oh darling, I love you, but this just might be
|
| A feeling that just comes and goes, don’t say I didn’t tell you so
|
| I see it all come down around your feet
|
| I see it now, you’re calling out but I can’t let you leave |
