But it's been empty since she moved away the day that the saw mill closed down
We'd sit on her porch almost every night I remember how happy we were
We'd grow up and marry I'd work at the mill to make a living for her
Her father worked at the mill like most of the others in town
I lost my girl when he lost his job the day that the saw mill closed down
She moved from the corner of Cedar and Elm and I never saw her again
But I can still hear her mother's soft voice saying honey it's time to come in
No longer do mill hands live here the giant saws don't make a sound
No longer does my love live here not since the saw mill closed down
She left when the saw mill closed down
