The House She Lived In (Album Version) Lyrics
The house she lived in
is now all we're left with
it'll take a lifetime to pay for this
Al the nuns were singin'
and the crowds were immense
all the papers wrote it a different way
Those known desirers
her first admirers
all claimed that they were her favorite
But I know that it was
me alone she loved
though I still have nothing to show for it
Ain't no calling you back
I just want you to know
I've your voice on my head
and your frame on the wall
it all went wrong
but I wish you'ld've stayed with me
love stay with me
Her brother John said
he ain't sure if she's dead
or just hiding somewhere away from him.
We all still remember
that cold December
with you lawn, and blaze, and razor blade drawn
Ain't no calling you back
I just want you to know
I've your voice on my head
and your frame on the wall
it all went wrong
But I wish you'ld've stayed with me
love stay with me
Oh love, when it's cold love
That's when I know love
That's when I know
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Well now it's all gone
I know I'll see you in the flowers
Now it's all done
Yeah I'll lay down there for hours
Now it's all gone
I know I'll see you in the flowers
Oh, honey, won't you come home?
I'd offer my soul
if I thought it might help at all
If I thought it might help at all
and I'd follow you down that road
If I thought it might help at all.
(Now go sing it to strangers.)

i love this song. incredible. makes me feel so emotional.
is she dead? i have been arguing with a friend about this. i think the girl in the song committed suicide, but my friend thinks that she left the guy. which is it?
I saw an interview with Finn and he said it was about a girl he was mad about when he was younger but could never get her, they went over if she was dead or not, but Finn didnt clarify if so

it talks about razor blades, so i'm assuming she at least attempted it also, the part about "i'll see you in the flowers" for some reason makes me think that she may be dead? i don't know though, just the vibe i got
this song is absolutely lovely though
