The Saddest House In Stockholm Lyrics by Marty Willson-piper

The Saddest House In Stockholm Lyrics

    The saddest house
    In stockholm
    Remembers former glories
    Of views without the railway tracks
    And flats with many storeys
    Its towers were a splendour
    But now i just feel pity
    To see the broken windows
    And the walls full of graffiti
    I long to sit alone inside
    And recreate the past
    Imagining an antique clock
    That ran a little fast
    And suddenly, it's all bare boards
    And giant walls and ceiling
    Witnessing this empty shell
    That once was full of feeling
    The rain beats on the rooftop
    But the hearts alreadys topped
    The fading yellow stockholm paint
    Around the bend bulldozers wait
    The gnashing blades of blood
    And hate
    Anxious just to satiate
    Condemning her to her cruel fate
    Her ugliness to take his shape
    A shadow cast from his dark cape
    That dwarfs the curves and crashes
    Her gate
    Her doors will split, her stairs innate
    Dust and rubble in the grate
    She so young, but it's too late
    The saddest house in stockholm
    Settles on her rock
    Remembers her friend
    His fingers and hands
    The ticking, though, has stopped.
