He Don't Live Here Anymore

I still remember
The day I went home
The taxi dropped me on the street
And I stood there all alone

I saw a lady on the porch
That I knew from years before
She said, Sorry about your father.
From behind the closed screen door

Sorry about your father.
He don't live here, no more.
Sorry about your father.
I saw them close the hearse door.
He don't live here no more.

Unopened letter
Unanswered calls
We were two separate men
Behind our stone walls

A chilled wind was blowin'
A cold October rain
And, as I stood before the house
It was silently saying

Sorry about your father.
He don't live here, no more.
Sorry about your father.
I saw them close the hearse door.
He don't live here no more.

(Intense guitar solo)

Sorry about your father.
I remember that day.
Sorry about your father.
I saw them take him away.
Yes, I did.
I remember that day.

Sorry about your father.
I remember that day.
Ohh, when I went home, fell down on my knees.
Raised up my right hand.
And I cried please, please, please.
If I had just a little more time.

Yeah

(Great outro)
