House Of Dreams Lyrics - Diamond Mine - Blue Rodeo

Can't stand the sight of myself 

Lying in bed all day with the curtains drawn 

Staring at the clock on the window ledge 

The angry words you said come back so strong 

Sometimes love quits 

Oh when the pieces don't fit 

And suddenly all your world 

Falls to the floor 

And all your wild days 

Oh fall away 

Can't see much point in them anymore 

I let you walk like a ghost unseen 

In this house of dreams 

Girl on the day you left 

Out walked my everything 

Must have thought you'd always be there 

I never even noticed when the changes came one day 

Seems one minute you were standing close 

I turned around again 

And girl you were far away 

And every plan we made 

Oh I just let them fade 

And pile up on the floor 

Beside the bed 

Now you're gone away 

Oh but your memory stays 

I sit here thinking of the things I never said 

In this house of dreams 

I let you walk like a ghost unseen 

Out walked my everything 

Girl on the day you left 

Sometimes love quits 

Oh when the pieces don't fit 

Falls to the floor 

And suddenly all your world 

Oh but your memory stays 

In this house of dreams 

I hear your voice behind every single door 

I let you walk like a ghost unseen 

Now you're gone away 

Girl on the day you left 

Out walked my everything
