[Mark Knopfler - A Place Where We Used to Live lyrics]
This empty kitchen's where
I'd while away the hours
Just next to my old chair
You'd usually have some flowers
The shelves of books even the picture hooks
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
If this old neighbourhood
Survived us both alright
Don't know that it withstood
All the things that took our light
You on the stair i can see you there
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
Once there was a little girl
Used to wonder what she would be
Went out into the big wide world
Now she's just a memory
There used to be a little school here
Where I learned to write my name
But time has been a little cruel here
Time has no shame
It's just a place where we used to live
It's just a place where we used to live
Now in another town you lead another life
And now upstairs and down
You're someone else's wife here in the dust
There's not a trace of us everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
It's just a place where we used to live
It's just a place where we used to live
It's just a place where we used to live
It's just a place where we used to live
I'd while away the hours
Just next to my old chair
You'd usually have some flowers
The shelves of books even the picture hooks
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
If this old neighbourhood
Survived us both alright
Don't know that it withstood
All the things that took our light
You on the stair i can see you there
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
Once there was a little girl
Used to wonder what she would be
Went out into the big wide world
Now she's just a memory
There used to be a little school here
Where I learned to write my name
But time has been a little cruel here
Time has no shame
It's just a place where we used to live
It's just a place where we used to live
Now in another town you lead another life
And now upstairs and down
You're someone else's wife here in the dust
There's not a trace of us everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
It's just a place where we used to live
It's just a place where we used to live
It's just a place where we used to live
It's just a place where we used to live
