Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Divorce song lyrics )
THAT KEY
( DOESN'T WORK HERE ANYMORE )
Copyright © 2011 - MickTerry.com

On   YouTube,  performed  LIVE  by  MICK TERRY   (soon!)

I thought I heard some footsteps & then a jangling set of keys
outside of our apartment, 3 AM.
I wasn't all that worried about our safety or some thief,
but, still my heart beats faster than it can.

A tiny little peephole I need to stoop to just see through
reveals you jiggling keys inside the locks.
Your muttered "Damn!" & "Asshole!" from down the darker side of you
reveal how pissed you are your entry's blocked.

    & it rips my heart wide o-pen as you fumble at the door-,
    but, THAT KEY DOESN'T WORK HERE ANYMORE-.

My lawyer says you've taken so very much more than you should.
Some changes should be made. It's time I've grown.
Not playing on the stereo, a song keeps playing in my head
as Luther sings A House Is Not a Home.

    CHORUS

        I never noticed these scratches on this wall.
        Now, there're brand new ones from furniture recently moved.
        I never noticed how we just seemed to fall
        down a slipp'ry slope where I just can't cope with you.

You can't hear a single teardrop, but now they're puddles on the floor
and I might be close to drowning on this side.

    CHORUS

To other breakup love song lyrics:   BACKING UP
ON THE ROPES
YOUR LEAVING
MORNING LIGHT
HIDDEN CORNERS
GET THE FEELING
WISHFUL DRINKING
MAYBE WE'VE HURT
THAT'S GOTTA HURT
TALKING TO MYSELF
YOU WERE THE BEST
YOU CAN TAKE MY BODY
NO SHOW AT THE ALTAR
I SOLD MY WIFE ON eBAY
MY EX-'S NEW BOYFRIEND
GOODBYE WAS ALL SHE WROTE
GUESS WHAT I FOUND 'NEATH THE DIRTY FRIDGE?
To the TOP
