Lyrics
She Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Words and music: Alejandro Escovedo
I paint your picture to my front door
I take your smile for a rider
I awake to a bad dream risingr
Your kiss it frames the sky
Your footsteps echo in the hallwayr
Your picture hangs abover
The faucet dripping in the kitchenr
It's just the rhythm of the blues
We used to talk about these daysr
We used to say they'd never happenr
Well, now that they've happenedr
It makes no difference who I am
I close my eyes and waste a wishr
You know I gave you my very bestr
But it wasn't good enoughr
You took forever and all thatr
Could ever be
She doesn't live here anymore
We used to talk about these daysr
We used to say they'd never happenr
Well, now that they've happenedr
It makes no difference who I am
She doesn't live here anymore
