Halfwayhome - Upstairs Room lyrics

There's a young woman in an upstairs room in a little town where rain falls and flowers bloom and there's a old boy in a living room chair he's got a dream and a plan that's gunna take him there he smiles at the past then he grits his teeth he clenches his fist tightly and swears "no defeat"/ then he turns on the music to the tune/ of the lady he remembers in an upstairs room The upstairs room- lit up in candlelight when the storm blew-we both lost our sight And I lost my love in an upstairs room There's an empty space where her love used to be he says"it's water under the bridge that takes its toll on me" its been a long time/ it ended much too soon still he remembers the promise in an upstairs room (Chorus) One things for certain it can never be the same Her voice and image still pounding in his brain And his heart afraid to open up another wound forgives the lies spoken in pa**ion in an upstairs room
