And 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 there We're not so far apart I remember a time When a kiss could heal the world’s disdain I'll miss the 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 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
