"It's hard to believe that this is the place
Where we were so happy all our lives.
Now so empty inside, and feeling no pain,
Waiting for a hammer and a big ball and chain.
They can tear it all down, and build something new,
But only I remember what was here.
Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone,
How long will I have to keep returning?"
Love Lives Here - Rod Stewart and the Faces [one of the more lyrical tracks on the classic rock album - A Nod is as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse].
