Oh the faucet started dripping in the kitchen
Last night your picture fell down from the wall
And today the boss said ´sorry son I can´t use you anymore´
And tonight the light bulb went out down the hall

Oh, things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right, now it seems
There ain´t nothin´ in my pocket, but three nickels and a dime
And I´m holding to the pieces of my dreams

Somebody threw a baseball through my window
And the arm fell off my favourite chair today
Oh the man he came today, said he´d haul all my things away
If I didn´t get my payments made by ten

Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Now nothin´ turns out half right, now it seems
There ain´t nothin´ in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
