This Old House house is a cemetery
Used to be our sanctuary
C

Back before our love died
Ever since she often left
I can't say I've been myself

Put the nail in the coffin

I'm gonna lay her down for good

let him come say some words

Gonna leave this dead love on the ground
I gathered up our photographs
I threw them in a pile out back

the gasoline
Doused it all down good and wet
C 
Then I lit a cigarette, took a drag,
G

and tossed it on our dreams

I bowed my head and I
G

felt a sweet release

Time I let this dead love rest in peace
