Verse 1

My house is a lonely house

But it once was a happy house

And the two of us were happy as I re-call

Refrain 1

But now the rain falls a-round it

And loneliness sur-rounds it

And I am in the middle of it all

Verse 2

My friends look at me and say

I wonder what made that boy that way

The boy doesn't even smile at all

Refrain 2

But I wonder what they would say

If their world just came down one day

And they were in the middle of it all

Bridge

I gave that girl all the love that I had

Had to give

And the love that I gave her

Was real and real and real

Verse 3

Now I ache yeah

With heart-breaking pain

And the hurt that I just cant explain

Yes it looks like my life is about to fall

Refrain 3 / end

But I feel a shadow round me

But sadness has found me

And me I'm in the middle of it all

I'm sitting right here in the middle

I hope I've done it justice!
