Nellie McKay - The Portal lyrics

[Nellie McKay - The Portal lyrics]

There's a house down Willow Lane
Just a simple sea-side shack
Through the wind and pourin' rain
She wants you black

There's a portal on the door
In the evening, comes a draft
From the life we had before you left

And all I got's the sense of it
'Cause all I had was you
And all I got's incensed by it
Now don't you go away
There is nothin' left to say (I love you so)
There is nothin' left to do
There is nothin' left to make
(I love you so) there is nothin' left of you

I'm in trouble and I do not see the light
There's a problem with my sight
It's a fight to stay alive and it's not fair


You're everywhere

Callin' up my past
But they're all gotten tired of me
And all my cryin' spells

Talkin' back to fate
The fate has done expired on me
And you who knew me well

I'm in trouble and my heart is set to fold
There's a problem with my soul
I'm a stone and it's not
Rollin' half way there you're everywhere

There is nothin' left to say (I love you so)
There is nothin' left to do
There is nothin' left to take
(I love you so) there is nothin' left of you
Lost on Willow Lane
Our love has turned to tumbleweed
Now don't you blow away
