House Where Nobody Lives

There's a house on my block
That's abandoned and cold
The folks moved out of it 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
And everyone call 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 is all cracked
It was peeled off of 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 ever come back to the house were nobody lives

Oh well 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?

So if you find someone
Someone to have, someone to hold
Don't trade it for silver
No, don't trade it for gold
Cause I have all of life's treasures
And they are fine and they are good
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
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
