This room's for rent

So you feel free to turn the key

And walk right through the door

You won't be intruding

Cause there ain't

Nobody lives here anymore

But once a love in hand

In hand they came

Though they never shared

A common name

She dressed here love

And stately pride

And wear it downtown

Pity all the lovers once

Who'd look at her in all

Her joy and frown

I can see you find it hard

To find the beauty in these rooms

So old and worn

But through the eyes of

Love they shown brightly

As a bright summer porch

They hang a blanket at the window

To help keep out the sun

And fell on the bed

Where they'd sleep

Through the afternoon

She'd fall asleep and

Know that he'd find her

Somewhere in his dreams

And he'd lie awake and try

And find the words to tell her things

Just weren't the way they seemed

There's the door that

He walked through

When he finally found the nerve

To say all the things

She would've sworn

He'd never say

She watched him

Through this window

As he walked into

The world yesterday

And she wondered if

He'd thrown the key away

There's the kitchen table

Where she sat and

Tried to dry her eyes

On a corner of a

Scratchy paper towel

She cried to God and asked him

If that man had ever

Loved her anyhow

Cigarette burns on the table

Coffee cups beer cans on the floor

She's heard no word from God

And nothing seems to

Matter anymore
