They had been together way too long for him to start again
So he does most of his living in the past
Round the house, he never says a word
'Til something makes him ask

Is that you tappin' my window pane?
Is that you or just a draft movin' that candle flame?
Something round here keeps my heart
From breakin' right in two, is that you?

In the dark he rises from a dream and takes a look around
Makin' sure there really isn't someone there
He could swear he heard her call his name
Quite as a prayer

Is that you takin' a step on that creaking stair?
Is that you quietly counting as you brush your hair?
Something round here keeps my heart
From breakin' right in two, is that you?
