(Shutters and boards cover the windows)

(Of the house where we used to live)

CHORUS

Shutters and boards cover the windows

Of the house where we used to live

All I have left is a heart full of sorrow

Since she said she'd never forgive

The house that we built was once filled with laughter

But I changed that laughter to tears

And now I live in a world without sunshine

Oh, how I wish you were here

CHORUS

Last night I dreamed that you came to our house

To take an old book from the shelf

If you'll open the shutters, I'll tear down the boards

'cause I drove ev'ry nail by myself

CHORUS

SPOKEN: One more time!

CHORUS

Shutters and boards
