Credits/Backstory:
Recorded by Jim Chapdelaine in 2001. Jim plays guitars, Jon Peckman, drums, Tracy Walton, upright bass, Kriss Santala, harmony vocal, and me, JV, acoustic guitar and vocal. — I chose to leave this version off “Bones & Clones” ‘cause I like The Mox’ version better. Chapdelaine didn’t agree. — You be the judge.

Lyrics:
Alone in this hallway surrounded by doors
I see four empty rooms with brown painted floors
as the sun steals away from these dusty old walls
I dream in the dark…Here’s where we were when we first fell in love
there were tables and chairs and a comfortable couch
I trembled, you shook, we stayed up all night
we laughed in the dark.Broom clean, and everything’s gone
Broom clean, it’s time to move on
Broom clean, it’s always this way
we’re just gettin’ started when we’re movin’ away.Let me take your hand gently
together we’ll go
through the old neighborhood
where we lived long ago
we’ll lay back on the hillside and find all the stars
we’ll laugh in the dark.Broom clean, and everything’s gone
Broom clean, it’s time to move on
Broom clean, it’s always this way
we’re just gettin’ started when we’re movin’ away.
