I see the house burning down

The pillars, the porch and the roof

The curtains that light up the room

Right where they left you on the floor

So it comes and goes, everyone will tell you so

The ceiling's falling down around your feet

Right where they left you, right where they left you

Right where they left you, oh, right where they left you on the floor

It comes and goes, everyone will tell you so

The ceiling's falling down around your feet

You see it now, you're calling out

I see the house burning down

And I won't let you leave

Yeah, I sit and watch from the street

The smokes rising outside your room

Where you let grass grow under your feet

Right where they left you, right where I left you

Oh darling I love you, but this just might be

A feeling that just comes and goes, don't say I didn't tell you so

I see it all come down around your feet

I see it now, you're calling out

But I can't let you leave
