Tom Waits - House Where Nobody Lives Lyrics
Theres a house on my blockThats abandoned and coldFolks moved out of it aLong time agoAnd they took all their thingsAnd they never came backLooks like its hauntedWith the windows all crackedAnd everyone call itThe house, the house whereNobody livesOnce it held laughterOnce it held dreamsDid they throw it awayDid they know what it meansDid someones 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 livesOnce it held laughterOnce it held dreamsDid they throw it awayDid they know what it meansDid someones heart breakOr did someone do someone wrong?So if you find someoneSomeone to have, someone to holdDont trade it for silverDont trade it for goldI have all of lifes treasuresAnd they are fine and they are goodThey remind me that housesAre just made of woodWhat makes a house grandAint the roof or the doorsIf theres love in a houseIts a palace for sureWithout love...It aint nothin but a houseA house where nobody livesWithout love it aint nothinBut a house, a house whereNobody lives.
