House Where Nobody Lives

歌詞

There's a house on my block That's abandoned and cold The folks moved out A long time ago And they took all their things And they never came back It looks like it's haunted With the windows all cracked Everyone calls it the house The house where nobody lives Once, it held laughter Once, it held dreams Did they throw it away? Did they know what it means? Did someone's heart break? Or did someone do somebody wrong? Well, the paint's all cracked It was peeled off the wood The papers were stacked On the porch where I stood And the weeds had grown up Just as high as the door There were birds in the chimney And an old chest of drawers Looks like no one will ever come back To the house were nobody lives Once, it held laughter And, once, it held dreams Did they throw it away? Did they know what it means? Did somebody's heart break? Or did someone do somebody wrong? So if you find someone To have and to hold Don't trade it for silver Oh, don't trade it for gold 'Cause I have all of life's treasures And they're fine and they're good And they remind me that houses Are just made of wood What makes a house grand Oh, it ain't the roof or the doors If there's love in a house It's a palace for sure But without love It ain't nothin' but a house A house where nobody lives Without love, it ain't nothin' but a house A house where nobody lives
