lyrics

Thoughts of you come like the wind in a rainstorm
They batter the walls till I'm shaking inside
I can't believe that I gave up your loving
To live in this lonesome mansion of pride

An image of you breaks right through my chest
Cracking my bones down to my toes
I can still hear what you said in the morning
All of that's gone now and that's how it goes

When I'd hold you close and whisper your name
Like lovers do time and again
Now it's out in the blue a distant freight train
It's gone it's gone

Four walls and a roof ain't home for no man
Who's lost the one who lights up his fire
I said goodbye and I said it's over
I hung up your love like a coat on the wire

And I'd hold you close and whisper your name
Like lovers do time and again
Now it's out in the blue a distant jet plane
It's gone it's gone
