Song Description

I read a book about a guy that lived way back in the bush, and when his child became ill, his wife took the kid to town and left that guy alone in his little shack for the winter.

Lyrics

EMPTY ROOM Ó

I REMEMBER SEEING YOU WAITING BY THE DOOR
I REMEMBER HOW THE LAMP LIGHT WOULD SHINE IN YOUR HAIR
AND HOW I LOVED TO SEE YOU WAITING THERE
I'D PUT MY COAT BESIDE A FIRE TO DRY
AND THE WARMTH WOULD SINK INTO MY BONES
I'D BE SO GLAD I WAS FINALLY AT HOME
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT

IF IT WERN'T FOR YOU ANY LITTLE PLACE WOULD DO
WITH OUT YOU IT'S JUST AN EMPTY ROOM

I USED TO THINK IT WAS THE PLACE I LOVED
AND I WOULD'NT EVEN HEAR OF US MOVING AWAY
YOU SEE I WAS SO DETERMINED TO STAY
AND I GUESS IT NEVER EVEN CROSSED MY MIND
THAT ANY LITTLE HOUSE WITHOUT LAUGHTER AND LOVE
IS JUST 4 WALLS AND A ROOF UP ABOVE
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT

IF IT WERN'T FOR YOU ANY LITTLE PLACE WOULD DO
WITH OUT YOU IT'S JUST AN EMPTY ROOM
WITHOUT LOVE AND LAUGHTER
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO
WITHOUT YOU IT'S JUST AN EMPTY ROOM
WITHOUT YOU IT'S JUST AN EMPTY ROOM
