The House She Lived In Lyrics & Chords By The Veils

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 singin'
And the crowds were immense
All the papers wrote it a different way

Those known desires
Her first admirers
Who 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 have your voice in my head and your frame on the wall
It all went wrong but I wish you could stay with me
Love, stay with me

Her brother John says
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 your razor blade 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
Have stayed with me

Oh, love
When it's cold, love
That's when I know. love
That's when I know
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Well now it 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
