The Portal - Nellie McKay

There’s a house down Willow Lane

Just a simple sea-side shack

Through the wind and pourin' rain

She wants you black

There’s a portal on the door

In the evening, comes a draft

From the life we had before

You left

Lost in

And all I got’s the sense of it

'Cause all I had was you

Lost down

And all I got’s incensed by it

Now don’t you go away

There is nothin' left to say

(I love you so)

There is nothin' left to do

There is nothin' left to make

(I love you so)

There is nothin' left of you

I’m in trouble and I do not see the light

There’s a problem with my sight

It’s a fight to stay alive and it’s not fair

You’re everywhere

Callin' up my past

But they’re all gotten tired of me

And all my cryin' spells

Talkin' back to fate

The fate has done expired on me

And you who knew me well

I’m in trouble and my heart is set to fold

There’s a problem with my soul

I’m a stone and it’s not rollin' half way there

You’re everywhere

There is nothin' left to say

(I love you so)

There is nothin' left to do

There is nothin' left to take

(I love you so)

There is nothin' left of you

Lost on Willow Lane

Our love has turned to tumbleweed

Now don’t you blow away
