I turned down the covers on a bed where two lovers

Found reasons to face each new day

In a room full of memories in a house built for love

On a street down in swiss cottage place



My mind just surrenders to all i remember

Come to steal every moment away

Yesterday's gone and where i stand here alone

It's a hollow ringing place called today

Last night i watched baby as she was boardin'

A greyhound bus back to st louis



And i couldn't let her know i knew why she was leavin'

Not after all we've been through

Slippin' my coat from my shoulders i said hon

It may get cold in st louis

And the look in her eyes grew suddenly sad

She knew that i knew what she knew



So now my mind surrenders to all i remember

Come to steal every moment away

From this room full of memories from this house built for love

On the street down on swiss cottage place
