I stand in this dusty, cluttered room
All the colors fade to gray
I should go and find a broom
Sweep cobweb memories away
Walls could be brightened up
To a lighter shade of blue
Leaky windows tightened up
But he'd keep on seeping through
chorus:
I'll shut the window on the past
Seal out cold and ancient drafts
Every shadow holds his face
His whispers echo through this space
I've got to lock it all away
And close the door on yesterday
Someday maybe I'll come back
Turn the key, look inside
Let the sun shine through a crack
In the curtains of my mind
But that day's far ahead
Much farther than I can see
For this room of things unsaid
There's only one choice left for me
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
Our love once decorated this room's walls and beams
But now this place is haunted by ghosts of shattered dreams
(repeat chorus)
