Lyrics
Back To The Old House
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I would rather not go back to the old house
I would rather not go back to the old house
There's too many bad memories
Too many memories there
When you cycled by
Here began all my dreams
The saddest thing I've ever seen
And you never knew how much I really liked you
Because I never even told you
Oh, and I meant to
Are you still there
Or have you moved away?
Or have you moved away?
I would love to go back to the old house
But I never will
I never will
I never will
