House of Dreams - Blue Rodeo

Can’t stand the sight of myself

Lying in bed all day with the curtains drawn

Staring at the clock on the window ledge

The angry words you said come back so strong

Sometimes love quits

Oh when the pieces don’t fit

And suddenly all your world

Falls to the floor

And all your wild days

Oh fall away

Can’t see much point in them anymore

In this house of dreams

I let you walk like a ghost unseen

Girl on the day you left

Out walked my everything

Must have thought you’d always be there

I never even noticed when the changes came one day

Seems one minute you were standing close

I turned around again

And girl you were far away

And every plan we made

Oh, I just let them fade

And pile up on the floor

Beside the bed

Now you’re gone away

Oh, but your memory stays

I sit here thinking of the things I never said

In this house of dreams

I let you walk like a ghost unseen

Girl on the day you left

Out walked my everything

Sometimes love quits

Oh when the pieces don’t fit

And suddenly all your world

Falls to the floor

Now you’re gone away

Oh, but your memory stays

I hear your voice behind every single door

In this house of dreams

I let you walk like a ghost unseen

Girl on the day you left

Out walked my everything
