(shutters and boards cover the windows)
(of the house where we used to live)

chorus
shutters and boards cover the windows
of the house where we used to live
all i have left is a heart full of sorrow
since she said she'd never forgive

the house that we built was once filled with laughter
but i changed that laughter to tears
and now i live in a world without sunshine
oh, how i wish you were here
Chorus
Last night i dreamed that you came to our house
to take an old book from the shelf
if you'll open the shutters, i'll tear down the boards
'cause i drove ev'ry nail by myself
Chorus
Spoken: one more time!
Chorus

shutters and boards
