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 – 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 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 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 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 I looked at my work and here's what I saw
It's the room that we shared For 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 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 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, the room for it was not meant to be But I hope one day you'll visit it with me So long, my love
