The Veils - The House She Lived In

The house she lived in
is now all we’re left with
It’ll take a lifetime to pay for this

All the nuns were singing
and the crowds were immense
All the papers wrote it a different way

Those known desirers
her first admirers
all claimed that they were her favourite

But I know that it was
me alone she loved
Though I still have nothing to show for it

Ain’t no calling you back
I just want you to know
I've your voice in my head and your frame on the wall.
It all went wrong but I wish you'd have stay with me
Love, stay with me...

Her brother John says
he ain't sure if she’s dead
Or just hiding somewhere away from him We all still remember
that cold December
with your lawn ablaze and you razorblade drawn

Ain’t no calling you back
I just want you to know
I have your voice in my head and your frame on the wall.
It all went wrong but I wish you’d have stayed with me
Love, stay with me...

Oh love
When it’s cold love
That’s when I know, love
That’s when I know
Oh oh oh ohhh

Well now it's all gone
I know I’ll see you in the flowers
Now it’s all done
Yeah, I’ll lay down there for hours
Now it’s all gone
I can see you in the flowers
Oh honey won’t you come home

I’d offer my soul
If I thought it might help at all
If I thought it might help at all

And I’d follow you down that road
If I thought it might help at all
If I thought it might help at all
