Lyrics

Key in the door Look down at the floor It's full of letters We'd hoped for a long time Things would work out And you would get better Draw back the curtains Open the window Let the light shine in It all looks the same As it did that day When we moved in Just look at the TV How did she have it so long? You need a magnifying glass To watch what was going on Clearing out Mum's house today Clearing out Mum's house today I found a photo My Dad sent her When he worked on the North Sea He wrote that he loves her And when he comes home Life will be easy Out in the garden Everything's dying It's such a sad scene I want to dig up The flowers you planted And take them back with me The kitchen sink is shining Because she kept it that way The cups are clean in the cupboard Because everything has its place Clearing out Mum's house today Clearing out Mum's house today What shall I do With your bags and your shoes? Your coats and your earrings? I feel like a thief In the night Going through your things Put on some music It's too quiet There's ghosts in the walls All your possessions Are put into boxes And left in the hall I can see your reflection When the sunlight hits your chair And just for a second For a second you're there Clearing out Mum's house today Clearing out Mum's house today Clearing out Mum's house today
