(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
