If this old neighborhood survived us both alright, I don’t know that it withstood all the things that took our light
You on the stair, I can see you there
Everything is gone, but my heart is hanging on

Once there was a little girl
Used to wonder what she would be
Went out into the big wide world
Now she’s just a memory
There used to be a little school here
Where I learned to write my name
Time has been a little cruel
Time has no shame

It’s just a place where we used to live

Now in another town you lead another life
And now upstairs and down you’re someone else’s wife
Here in the dust there’s not a trace of us
Everything is gone, but my heart is hanging on
