He Don`t Live Here Anymore Lyrics

He Don`t Live Here Anymore lyrics

I still remember

The day I went home

The taxi dropped me on the street

And I stood there all alone



I saw a lady on the porch

That I knew from years before

She said, "Sorry about your father"

From behind the closed screen door



"Sorry about your father

He don't live here, no more

Sorry about your father

I saw them close the hearse door

He don't live here no more"



Unopened letters

Unanswered calls

We were two separate men

Behind our stone walls



A chilled wind was blowin'

A cold October rain

And as I stood before the house

It was silently saying



'Sorry about your father

He don't live here, no more

Sorry about your father

I saw them close the hearse door

He don't live here no more'



Sorry about your father

I remember that day

Sorry about your father

I saw them take him away, yes, I did

I remember that day



Sorry about your father

I remember that day

Ohh, when I went home, fell down on my knees

Raised up my right hand and I cried 'Please, please, please'

If I had just a little more time, yeah
