From the recording Caribbean Country

Lyrics

We had the best life here by the ocean
I found my strength in your devotion
The house we built stands tall to the wind
Keeping us safe and the rain from our skin

Something was wrong but I had to be strong
carrying you to get some rest
If only I could help and carry some pain
If only I could help you then I won’t go insane

we were going to live forever
watch our kids grow old together
In this big house we called our own
But now I live here a-lone

All we wanted was to be sure
We tried every cure
It all began with some kind of plea
Standing there together just you and me

we were going to live forever
watch our kids grow old together
In this big house we called our own
But now I live here a-lone

I miss your flowers in their beds
Your voice is music in my head.
I call to you when I speak
But I haven't done it in more than a week.

we were going to live forever
watch our kids grow old together
In this big house we called our own
But now I live here a-lone
