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 neighborhood 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.

About This Quote

This empty kitchen's where I'd while away the hours In the kitchen of my house, there was a little table and chair. It's been remodeled since those days, but those days were happy ones. In the kitchen of my house, there was a little table and chair. In those days, I often sat alone in this room and read books or wrote poems.

I'd spend a lot of time here, but the room was always clean. There were no flowers on the shelves of books, no pictures on the wall, but my heart was hanging on. Once there was a little girl, who used to wonder what she would be.

She went out into the big wide world and 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. In another town you lead another life and now upstairs and downstairs 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 –We used to live-It's just a place where we used to live
