All the broken pieces

Lying in a pile

From the bathroom tile

Broke my only mirror

Empty little bedroom

Born into a strange world

Waiting for a train

Sliding 'round Chicago

In a soft rain

Year of No Returning

Hanging on the wall

C Em Am G

Praying for salvation

And a phone call

Oh, I miss my honey so

And my childhood's ending
