Swiss Cottage Place
Echoes of Love Lost in Swiss Cottage
Lyrics
I turned down the covers on a bed where two lovers
I prepared a bed where two lovers had intimate moments.
Found reasons to face each new day
These lovers found reasons to confront and embrace each new day together.
In a room full of memories, in a house built for love
In a place filled with memories, within a home constructed for love.
On a street down in Swiss Cottage Place
Located on a street in Swiss Cottage Place.
And my mind just surrenders
My thoughts yield to the recollections of the past.
To all I remember's come to steal every moment away
All the memories come flooding back, attempting to steal every present moment.
Yesterday's gone and where I stand here alone
Yesterday is over, and I find myself standing alone in a desolate place called today.
It's a hollow ringin' place called today
It's a place that echoes with emptiness and a sense of loss.
Last night I watched baby as she was boardin'
Last night, I observed my significant other boarding a Greyhound bus heading to St Louis.
A Greyhound bus back to St Louis
I couldn't let her know that I understood the reason behind her departure.
I couldn't let her know I knew why she was leavin'
It's challenging to reveal my knowledge given our shared history.
Not after all we've been through
We've been through a lot together.
Slippin' my coat from my shoulders I said
Removing my coat, I said, "It might get cold in St Louis."
"Honey, it may get cold in St Louis"
I attempted to provide comfort as she embarked on her journey.
And the look in her eyes grew suddenly sad
However, the look in her eyes turned sad, realizing that I knew the true reason.
She knew that I knew what she knew
She understood that I was aware of the circumstances.
And my mind just surrenders
My thoughts once again surrender to memories, attempting to steal each moment.
To all I remember's come to steal every moment away
These memories are taken away from this room filled with the echoes of the past.
From this room full of memories, from this house built for love
From a home constructed for love, on the street in Swiss Cottage Place.
On the street down on Swiss Cottage Place
