There's nobody home in this house
a monument to the days we shared
colors of the lives we picked out
little trinkets everywhere
the photos of your face in
the places we stayed they're all
more beautiful for you
and the flowers call me home when you're away
the same we you used to
and i wish i had been a better lover for you
i wish you could believe the words i say
but the stranger i turned into he
stole away my language
and in translation things get lost along the way
along the way
there''s a box of jewelry on a stand by the bed
full of things that sparkle on your skin
but you burn so bright i have to turn my head
i never see any of them
and the treasures we brought back from foreign shores
i know now what they are
the remedies to troubles that lay
outside our door
and my hope that you don't go too far
and i wish i had been a better lover for you
i wish you could believe the words i say
but the stranger i turned into he
stole away my language
and in translation things get lost along the way
along the way
alone is a sad, a sad place to be
not quite as bad as keeping the wrong company
so i'll write you another love song
in this strange language of mine
and pray you understand
even though i know you won't belive
