Your picture's in the closet
Covered with a sheet
That used to drape our bed
And I can't find your glasses
On the table
Where you often sat and read
Your car's down at the station
And your clothes
Are in the cleaners being pressed
That's why the house is empty
Oh, thank God, your memory's
Finally gone to rest
Your chair is being covered
It had finally seen the best
Of better days
The kids put up your tennis racket
Now, nobody hardly
Ever plays
Your coffe mug is gone
And by mistake
The Goodwill people
Took your desk
That's why the house is empty
Oh thank God, your memory's
Finally gone to rest
Your memory's gone
Away from home
Finally, it's leavin me alone
Alone
There's nothin left to think about
Nothin to remember or regret
Now, the house is empty
Oh thank God, your memory's
Finally gone to rest
Now the house is empty
Oh thank God, your memory's
Finally going to rest.
