Its always in this house Where her small ivory hands have never been And her blood red lips have never tasted The floor sings sad songs as we walk At such late hours in the night Its the stairs and the purple curtain That I think I’ll associate with the way things were When it was just me I kept my gas tank full So I could always leave at a moments notice The highway has never sounded so quiet in my life Drowned out in your whispers But even a sinking ship can be repaired *~W.C.
