We Lived Alone Lyrics

We lived alone
My house and I
We had the Earth, we had the sky
I had a lamp against the dark
And I was happy as a lark
We lived alone
My house and I
We had the Earth, we had the sky
I had a lamp against the dark
And I was happy as a lark

I had a stove and a window-screen
I had a table painted green
Sat on a chair with a broken back
Wearing a pretty potato sack
I had a rug upon the floor
And roses grew around my door
I had a job
My wants were few
They were until I wanted you
And when I set my eyes on you
Nothing else would do, nothing else would do
