A Room of Your Own

from Behind a Veil by Jess Klein

/

lyrics

Hear that clock tick,
The one above the kitchen door,
The one you picked up at a yard sale, long before

Still won’t stick
Been hanging crooked all this time
Kept you thinkin’ you had an extra hour to mind

There’s the wood floor
Where you would dance around the room
Thinkin’ every song every singer sang was sung for you
On the stereo
Well it’s kind of dusty now
Every time you go to turn it on, you turn around

Chorus:
You’re in an empty house
You’re feelin’ all alone
You’re quiet as a mouse
You hear the shudders groan
And he’s not comin’ back
It’s time to find your own way home
In a room of your own

Foreign movie
You don’t know what it was about
But you stopped tryin’ after some time to figure out
Why these blue jeans
The ones you’ve almost thrown away
Still remind you of the words he couldn’t say

Chorus

Don’t give up on your dreams ‘cause they’re the best you’ve got
Don’t let their schemes make you believe you’re not
You can love a lot

Chorus
