I step outside and take the cold in like a pill
Then I wake up and dream it was a dream I dreamt
That old house stuck up on a hill somewhere
Makes me cry out loud and wipe away the tears again
How do I know that you aint gone away
How do I know that you aint gone away
Heavens on your doorstep and you aint gone away
They make up lies tell you things and you aint gone away
In the morning mist I call out your name
But I dont hear it echo the voice of the insane
All the memories on your window sill they keep a sweet refrain
If all thats goods an accident Im not the one to blame
How do I know that you aint gone away
How do I know that you aint gone away
Heavens on your doorstep and you aint gone away
And knowing all the answers wont take away the pain
Now you can see the reasoning the truth of the insane
They make up lies tell you things and you aint gone away
Starstruck the letters on your mantlepiece
Read like death in venice on the beach
And you aint gone away
How do I know that you aint gone away
Heavens on your doorstep and you aint gone away
And knowing all the answers wont take away the pain
Now you can see the reasoning the truth of the insane
They make up lies tell you things and you aint gone away
