Analysis of Empty House
I am alone now
So glad I saved the day
But now the party’s over
You’ve all left and gone away.
No good byes or thank you’s
No we’ll miss you and we’ll write
Just an empty house all day
And every lonely night
The mornings I wake alone
Climbing down the stairs
Remembering the times we all
Emerged like hibernating bears
But now that time is over
I just wake and am alone
Now that the birds are all grown up
From the nest they all have flown.
