Shutters and boards cover the windows Of the house where we used to live All I have left is a heart full of sorrow Since you said, he'd never forgive Let me tell you about the house that we built It was once filled with laughter and warmth and love But, I changed all of that And now that house is cold and dark and lonely And so am I Oh, how I wish you were here Shutters and boards cover the windows Of the house where we used to live All I have left is a heart full of sorrow Since you said, he'd never forgive I had a dream last night I dreamed that, we were all together again Back at the house, sure was a good dream And you know, I've been thinking If you would open the shutters I'll tear down the boards 'Cause I drove every nail by myself Shutters and boards cover the windows Of the house where we used to live All I have left is a heart full of sorrow Since you said, he'd never forgive (shutters and boards)
