Mavis Staples Lyrics
"All the Discomforts of Home (b-side)"

There's my easy chair
though it's so hard sitting there
when i still miss you so
each night at ten, i turn in
& simply close the door
why did you have to go?

the playroom is just a room i cry in
& the livingroom is just a room i seem to die in
when it falls apart, & you're left with a broken heart
once all the love is gone, it's hard living alone
with all the discomforts of home

There's my fireplace
yet i'm cold as a winter's day
pardon me while i cry
i still climb the stairs & find myself
awaiting your embrace
why did you say goodbye?

a gazebo, a patio, a corner to grieve in
a master suite, satin sheets, a bed to weep in
when it falls apart, & you're left with a broken heart
once all the love is gone, it's hard living alone
with all the discomforts of home

a gazebo, a patio, a corner to grieve in
a master suite, satin sheets, a bed to weep in
when it falls apart, & you're left with a broken heart
once all the love is gone, it's hard living alone
with all the discomforts of home.
