I've walked the street a thousand times
I've passed by your house I've seen the signs
A fence that frames all your property
I live so close but I have never seen
Some candles in your windows it's always dark
Some flowers in your garden it's like a clear cut
Some letters in your mailbox it's empty unlocked
A broken wind chime is all you've got
A broken wind chime is all you've got
You've walked along my street a thousand times
You've passed by my house looking for a sign
Of life that lives on my property
You live so close but you have never seen
Some candles in my windows everything is dark
Some flowers in my garden it's like a clear cut
Some letters in my mailbox it's empty unlocked
A broken wind chime is all I've got
A broken wind chime is all I've got
I wish that I could speak you seem so kind
The chemo took my voice I've not much time
I cannot say what it means to see
You standing on my street looking in on me
My wife was such a beauty so many years ago
She loved to plant the garden and make the candles glow
My heart fell into pieces the day she passed away
I'll join her all too soon where she lays
By the broken wind chime where she lays
I'll join her all too soon where she lays
By the broken wind chime where she lays
