House Where Nobody Lives

1. There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold

Folks moved out of it a long time ago

And they took all their things, and they never came back

Looks like its haunted, with the windows all cracked

And everyone calls it the house

The house where nobody lives

R: Once it held laughter, once it held dreams

Did they throw it away, do they know what it means

Did someone's heart break,

Or did someone do somebody wrong

2. Well the paint was all cracked, it was peeled off the wood

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 where nobody lives

R: Once it held laughter...

3. So if you find someone, someone to have, someone to hold

Don't trade it for silver, don't trade it for gold

`Cos I have all of life's treasures, and they're fine and they're good

They remind me that houses are just made of wood

What makes a house grand oh it aint the roof or the doors

If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure

Without love it aint nothin' but a house

A house where nobody lives

Without love it aint nothin' but a house

A house where nobody lives
