We Lived Alone

We lived alone

My house and I

We had the earth

We had the sky

I had a lamp against the dark

And I was happy as a lark

We lived alone

My house and I

We had the earth

We had the sky

I had a lamp against the dark

And I was happy as a lark

I had a stove and a window screen

I had a table painted green

Sat on a chair with a broken back

Wearing a pretty potato sack

I had a rug upon the floor

And roses grew around my door

I had a job, my wants were few

They were until I wanted you

And when I set my eyes on you

Nothing else would do

Nothing else would do
