{Verse 1}
You had the house at the end of the lane
It was made of brick and slate
Standing by your bookshelf I said desire makes us strong
Didn't want to know, you didn’t want to know
{Verse 2}
Soldered down the center on the line that we had made
It's more than a give and take
I did not expect that love would take away my dreams
I just thought it's what you do in your mid-twenties
{Verse 3}
You were tucked into the caverns of your coat
I told you lies that turned you old
You moved out to Portland and I went the other way
Wе haven’t spoken since and I try not to feel ashamеd
{Verse 4}
Dreary in my memory I see that house of brick and slate
It stands like the pillars of fate
If I had not gone in and come out the other side
Who knows what kind of blindness I'd have to hide
Who knows what kind of blindness I'd have to hide
