lyrics

I HEARD YOUR HOUSE BURNT DOWN (Jeremy Gronow)
Verse 1
I heard your house burnt down. While you were sleeping
Did you out just in time? What were you thinking?
Your records and your books, your memories and pictures
You lost your pictures.
I heard your house burnt down and you've gone missing

Verse 2
They said you stood out in the street and watched it burning
What shattered in your head? What left you hurting?
What made you walk away and head out into nowhere?
And no-one knows where.
As the fire engines came, they saw you go.

Bridge
I saw you on the news, a shady Facebook picture
The newsreader she said the police couldn’t figure
Was it you who threw the match, a candle or a heater?
They interviewed your mum, she said no-one was sweeter - sweeter than you
Verse 3
Did I see you yesterday? At the station in the distance
I thought to call your name, I guessed you wouldn’t listen
Did you find another life?
Like some protected witness, and do you miss it? 
I heard your house burnt down, Yeah,
I heard your house burnt down, Well
I, heard your house burnt down and you’ve gone missing
