Talking to your lover on a non-existent phone
House full of nothing
The joyous conversation of a creature quite alone
House full of nothing
The whirr of passing traffic, the sighing of the breeze
House full of nothing
The awareness of a culture that is fading by degrees
House full of nothing
ย
One time in a lifetime
Understand just what you own
No one owns the sunshine
And possession is a stone
You took the heart of me
Give it back
You took my family
Give it back
Wipe clean the memory
Give it back
You took my dignity
Give it back
One time in a lifetime
Understand just what you own
No one owns the sunshine
And possession is a stone
But when you are gone
What will it do for you, baby?
A hint of a shadow of a picture by the door
House full of nothing
The creak of a staircase or the flexing of the floor
House full of nothing
The light spreading even, neither glaring nor too dark
House full of nothing
All finishes that blend in, leaving surface with no marks
House full of nothing
ย
The traces of a perfume half remembered from the past
House full of nothing
The ringing of a catchphrase from a cherished telecast
House full of nothing
Nothing in the corner, nothing on the wall
House full of nothing
It makes you laugh to think that there were ever things at all
House full of nothing
One time in a lifetime
Understand just what you own
No one owns the sunshine
And possession is a stone
You took the heart of me
Give it back
You took my family
Give it back
Wipe clean the memory
Give it back
You took my dignity
Give it back
You took the heart of me
Give it back
You took my family
Give it back
Wipe clean the memory
Give it back
You took my dignity
Give it back
You took the heart of me
Give it back
You took my family
Give it back
Wipe clean the memory
Give it back
You took my dignity
Give it back
