Mark Knopfler - A Place Where We Used To Live Lyrics

This empty kitchen`s where
I`d while away the hours
Just next to my old chair
You`d usually have some flowers
The shelves of books
Even the picture hooks
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on

If this old neighbourhood
Survived us both alright
Dont know that it withstood
All the things that took our light
You on the stair
I can see you there
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on

Once there was a little girl
Used to wonder what she would be
Went out into the big wide world
Now shes just a memory
There used to be a little school here
Where I learned to write my name
But time has been a little cruel here
Time has no shame

Its just a place where
We used to live
Its just a place where
We used to live

Now in another town
You lead another life
And now upstairs and down
You`re someone else`s wife
Here in the dust
There`s not a trace of us
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on

Its just a place where
We used to live
Its just a place where
We used to live
