He Don't Live Here Anymore Lyrics - Robert Cray

I still remember 

The day I went home 

The taxi dropped me on the street 

And I stood there all alone 

I saw a lady on the porch 

That I knew from years before 

She said, "Sorry about your father" 

From behind the closed screen door 

"Sorry about your father 

He don't live here, no more 

Sorry about your father 

I saw them close the hearse door 

He don't live here no more" 

Unopened letters 

Unanswered calls 

We were two separate men 

Behind our stone walls 

A chilled wind was blowin' 

A cold October rain 

And as I stood before the house 

It was silently saying 

'Sorry about your father 

He don't live here, no more 

Sorry about your father 

I saw them close the hearse door 

He don't live here no more' 

Sorry about your father 

I remember that day 

Sorry about your father 

I saw them take him away, yes, I did 

I remember that day 

Sorry about your father 

I remember that day 

Oh, when I went home, fell down on my knees 

Raised up my right hand and I cried 'Please, please, please' 

If I had just a little more time, yeah
