Blue Rodeo
House of Dreams
[Verse 1]
Can't stand the sight of myself
Lying in bed all day with the curtains drawn
Staring at the clock on the window ledge
The angry words you said come back so strong

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes love quits
Oh when the pieces don't fit
And suddenly all your world
Falls to the floor
And all your wild days
Oh fall away
Can't see much point in them anymore

[Chorus]
In this house of dreams
I let you walk like a ghost unseen
Girl on the day you left
Out walked my everything

[Verse 2]
Must have thought you'd always be there
I never even noticed when the changes came one day
Seems one minute you were standing close
I turned around again
And girl you were far away
[Pre-Chorus]
And every plan we made
Oh, I just let them fade
And pile up on the floor
Beside the bed
Now you're gone away
Oh, but your memory stays
I sit here thinking of the things I never said

[Chorus]
In this house of dreams
I let you walk like a ghost unseen
Girl on the day you left
Out walked my everything

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Sometimes love quits
Oh when the pieces don't fit
And suddenly all your world
Falls to the floor
Now you're gone away
Oh, but your memory stays
I hear your voice behind every single door
[Chorus]
In this house of dreams
I let you walk like a ghost unseen
Girl on the day you left
Out walked my everything
