A Place Where We Used To Live

This empty kitchen's where
I'd wile away the hours
Just next to my old chair
You'd usually have some flowers
 
The shelves of books
Even the picture hooks
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
 
If this old neighborhood
Survived us both alright
Don't know that it withstood
All the things that took our light
 
You on the stair
I can see you there
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
 
Once there was a little girl
Used to wonder what she would be
Went out into the big wide world
Now she's just a memory
 
There used to be a little school here
Where i learned to write my name
But time has been a little cruel here
Time has no shame
 
It's just a place
Where we used to live
It's just a place
Where we used to live
 
Now in another town
You lead another life
And now upstairs and down
You're someone else's wife
 
Here in the dust
There's not a trace of us
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
 
It's just a place
Where we used to live
It's just a place
Where we used to live
