I stand in this dusty, cluttered room
All the colors fade to gray
I should go and find a broom
Sweep cobweb memories away
Walls could be brightened up
To a lighter shade of blue
Leaky windows tightened up
But he'd keep on seeping through
chorus:
I'll shut the window on the past
Seal out cold and ancient drafts
Every shadow holds his face
His whispers echo through this space
I got to lock it all away
And close the door on yesterday
Someday maybe I'll come back
Turn the key, look inside
Let the sun shine through a crack
In the curtains of my mind
But that day's far ahead
Much farther than I can see
For this room of things unsaid
There's only one choice left for me
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
Our love once decorated this room's walls and beams
But now this place is haunted by ghosts of shattered dreams
(repeat chorus)
