House where nobody lives
There's a house on my blockThat's abandoned and coldFolks moved out of it aLong time agoAnd they took all their thingsAnd they never came backLooks like it's hauntedWith the windows all crackedAnd everyone call itThe house, the house whereNobody lives
Once it held laughterOnce it held dreamsDid they throw it awayDid they know what it meansDid someone's heart breakOr did someone do somebody wrong?
Well the paint was all crackedIt was peeled off of the woodPapers were stacked on the porchWhere I stoodAnd the weeds had grown upJust as high as the doorThere were birds in the chimneyAnd an old chest of drawersLooks like no one will everCome back to theHouse were nobody lives
Once it held laughterOnce it held dreamsDid they throw it awayDid they know what it meansDid someone's heart breakOr did someone do someone wrong?
So if you find someoneSomeone to have, someone to holdDon't trade it for silverDon't trade it for goldI have all of life's treasuresAnd they are fine and they are goodThey remind me that housesAre just made of woodWhat makes a house grandAin't the roof or the doorsIf there's love in a houseIt's a palace for sureWithout love...It ain't nothin but a houseA house where nobody livesWithout love it ain't nothinBut a house, a house whereNobody lives.
