Shutters And Boards

Jerry Wallace

(Shutters and boards cover the windows)

(Of the house where we used to live)



CHORUS

Shutters and boards cover the windows

Of the house where we used to live

All I have left is a heart full of sorrow

Since she said she'd never forgive



The house that we built was once filled with laughter

But I changed that laughter to tears

And now I live in a world without sunshine

Oh, how I wish you were here



CHORUS



Last night I dreamed that you came to our house

To take an old book from the shelf

If you'll open the shutters, I'll tear down the boards

'cause I drove ev'ry nail by myself



CHORUS



SPOKEN: One more time!



CHORUS



Shutters and boards
