House On Fire

It was the month of May and all the birds were singing
?Songs of sadness, songs of pain, a song of my house burning
?Future in flames, my heart was aching
I called Miriam and asked if she could hold me

Headed straight for my car with things that I could carry
?I went to Miriam's, it's not too far, a drive across the city?
Stayed in her yellow room upstairs, window facing east
?Slept all alone in bed, and strange as it seems
I wore the bathrobe he gave me last year?
And lay with my sorrow hoping love would appear

Eleven days at her house, tears were streaming?
I'd lay down on her couch and Miriam would hold me

As evening settled in we'd start talking?
About friendship and our fears and I would play my banjo

Playing and laughing and talking and crying?
And asking the questions of why does this happen
To me and to you and to everyone over
?Again and again and again and again?

It was the month of May this year
My house was burning?
So I went to Miriam's, just me and my banjo
