about

Dorothy Jane Gosper: Songwriter, composer

lyrics

I'm turning these four walls into my home
I never thought I'd live alone, I'm on my own

There's nineteen years of you and me
Packed up in boxes under my feet, We're history

I've got some plants that I put in pots
A money tree for luck and forget-me-nots, Forget-me-nots

There's my TV screen, for months it's been black
You always fixed it, You had the knack, You won't be back

My second-hand lounge is purple and green
It's much brighter than my TV screen, I wish I could scream

I paid too much much for my new washing machine
The cycle's too long and my clothes aren't clean
I wish I could scream. Why can't I scream?

A photo of my Mum is up on my wall
She's beautiful, she's strong, not even five feet tall
I miss my Mum

And beside my Mum, a photo of my son
He's handsome, he's loyal, he's my fragile one
My fragile son

There's my single bed where I miss your heat
I wish I could cry myself to sleep
Wish I could weep. Why can't I weep?

Our wedding photo used to sit by the 'phone
I never signed up to live on my own. I'm on my own.

I'm turning these four walls into my home
