You gave your happiness for sorrow

Your tears fall like rain from above

I see where you live from my wimdow

A house with everything but love



My house is smaller than your own, dear

The colour may not be as bright

I may get just a little lonely

But my conscience don't bother me at night



The roses bloom around your window

The sun keeps shinin' every day

It's cold and dark inside your prison

To live, again there's just one way



You gave your happiness for sorrow

Your tears fall like rain from above

Well I see where you live from my wimdow

A house with everything but love



The roses bloom around your window

The sun keeps shinin' every day

It's cold and dark inside your prison

To live, again there's just one way



You gave your happiness for sorrow

Your tears fall like rain from above

I see where you live from my wimdow

A house with everything but love
