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 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 was all cracked
It was peeled off of 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 were 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 someone wrong?

So if you find someone
Someone to have, someone to hold
Don't trade it for silver

Don't trade it for gold
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

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.
