And the night that you left me
Was the dawn of a warm, wonderful summer day
Promised roses and sunshine
Washing anger and heartaches away
So I opened the door
Let the sun – in his grace -
Clear the dust all around
And in shimmery light I could see
All the trash and the waste on the ground

The picture of us
Fell off the wall when you bashed the door
I changed the glass hung it up once more
I remember a time
When a kiss could heal the world's disdain
I'll miss the bliss we had
I'll miss the pain so long, my love
So long, my love
The porcelain vase you broke in a fight
I found every shard and I
Fixed it quite right

Then I saw the windows
Misty with spite that I threw
All the years, now and then
Over things I don't even know
And I see I was wrong
And I'm willing to gather those tears
That I cried and I wash the dead panes
Till again they are bright
So you see I am sorry
And it wasn't all right

A last twist with the broom
Crossways the room then I looked at my work
And here's what I saw

It's the room that we shared
For so long all the good
All the bad time's in here
Though you left with half of it
There is still enough memory to bear
But I burnished and furnished
Mend what was broken, repaired furniture
I arranged everything perfectly
My last gift to the treasure we are

It's the key with your name
I wear on a string by my heart
When I know it is there
We're not so far apart i remember a time
When a kiss could heal the world's disdain
I'll miss the bliss we had
I'll miss the pain so long, my love
It's the key with your name
I wear on a string by my heart
When I know it is there
We're not so far apart i have to leave
Lock the room for it was not meant to be
But I hope one day you'll visit it with me
So long, my love
