American Old Time Song Lyrics: 40 Since She Went Home
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 40
SINCE SHE WENT HOME.
By It. J. Burdette.
Since she went home-
The evening shadows linger longer here.
The winter days fill so lunch of the year,
And even summer winds are chill and drear,
Since she went home.
Since she went home-
The robin's note haa touched a minor strain,
The old glad songs breathe but a sad refrain,
And laughter sobs with hidden, bitter pain,
Since she went home.
Since she went home-
How still the empty room her presence blessed:
Untouched the pillow that her dear head pressed;
My lonely heart has nowhere for is rest,
Since she went home.
Since she went home-
The long, long days have crept away like years,
The sunlight has been dimmed with doubts and fears,
And the dark nights have rained in lonely tears,
Since she went home.
