We used to live out there
We used to breathe out there
We used to live there
We used to live there
All our dreams
All our nightmares
Stains on the walls
Footprints on those floors
I can still smell the cooking
I can still smell her perfume
All the way down the passage into my room
I can still hear the laughing
I can still hear the screaming
As the tears are flowing, the tears are flowing
And the moon says goodnight
And mama says, sweep it under morning
Light
We used to live out there
We buried our dreams out there
We used to live there
We used to live there
Sunday mornings came and gone
Off to church again with mom
Van Morrison in the air
She's teaching me how to plait my hair
In sunny windows
In sunny windows
In sunny windows
Mama says, don't hang your washing on the line
For everybody to see
Mama says, don't hang your washing on the line
For everybody to see
Oh
For everybody to see
Oh
For everybody to see
For everybody to see
We used to
Live out there
