Five Rooms

Tim O'Brien · Other Songs - Tim O'Brien

I live in five rooms, but they don't feel like home

Since our dreams are shattered by two hearts made of stone

Sittin' in the livin' room don't feel like livin' to me

Drownin' in a flood of memories



Chorus: Five rooms, five rooms

Full of hope when love blooms

Now it's empty as a tomb

Livin' in these five rooms



I don't go in the kitchen, it's a wasteland to me

A place for dirty dishes and forgotten recipes

I don't sleep in the bedroom, now I'm all alone

The bed's too big, the nights go on too long



Chorus: Five rooms, five rooms

Full of hope when love blooms

Now it's empty as a tomb

Livin' in these five rooms



I stop at the spare room while walkin' through the night

Mournin' for the love we both cast aside

In the glare of the bathroom mirror's reflection

I pray for some faint light of direction



Chorus: Five rooms, five rooms

Full of hope when love blooms

Now it's empty as a tomb

Livin' in these five rooms
