Lyrics
Just across the way a house is dark
I can hardly see
Just a cross the way lives a girl
Who's so in love with me
But I'm such a bitter soul
Who's memories seemed to always get their way
So I live here with my memories
She lives there with her love just across the way
Just across the way I can see her in the window watching me
With her face rest to the pain
And her eyes look more tear stained every day
Just across the way
Might as well be in the heavens on a star
We're just close enough together
To see just what far apart we are
