    Lyrics

    I walked the road I knew so well
    The old house stood where the moonlight fell
    The door was closed the lights were dim
    A voice inside said you can’t come in

    The rain came down it lashed my skin
    The years had passed but nothing changed
    I called your name but the silence stayed
    A broken bond that time can’t save

    The house was lit the glow was warm
    A home that kept me from harm
    You turned away no time to wait
    You left me standing at the gate


    I hear the echoes calling
    Through every night they fall
    A voice that once was gentle
    Now builds another brick wall

    You said I don’t belong I’ll never find a home
    These walls are not my own I stand outside alone
    The blood that ties us both now feels so far away
    And I can’t go back again there’s nothing left to say

    The house remains the years roll on
    But what we had is dead and gone
