Lyrics

(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
