Like an Empty House

They came through town
 And you conquered the world
 And the last I saw was the smoke in the wind
 Like an empty house
 Thats ready to burn
 Its the end of the day let the night begin
 Slow and trouble won't you come back to me
 Cause im not the same anymore
 Hallelujah im on my knees
 Knockin at your door
 You show up late
 With a handful of rust
 The low sun winding the thread on the walls
 And if you can't trust me
 Then who can you trust
 With a truce in the mirror and theres hope on the walls
 Lonesome but friendly can't you see you're on your own
 And your pockets dont need a thing
 Hallelujah im on my knees
 Won't you let me in
 You wake me up
 With a life on the line
 And there's no chance of ever coming back
 And if the world is flat
 And there ain't no time
 To pick up all of the nails and glass
 Don't you tell me honey that your heart is mine
 Just tell me how to make it last
 Hallelujah im on my knees
 Girl our time has passed
