Mark Knopfler - A Place Where We Used To Live (Remastered 2021)

This empty kitchen where I'd wile away the hours Just next to my old chair I'd usually have some flowers The shelves of books Even the picture hooks Everything's gone But my heart is hanging on If this old neighbourhood survived us both alright Don't know that it withstood All the things that took our light You on the stairs I can see that 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 one or two write my name Time has been a little cruel here Time has no shame It's just a place where we used to live 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 It's just a place where we used to live It's just a place where we used to live It's just a place where we used to live It's just a place where we used to live
