This old house is alone
Dark and damp
Where there used to be sunshine
Now is gloom
There are a lot of rooms
Plenty of places to hide
But you hear nor see any children
Just the quiet
The walls whisper
In the deep night
Mirrors watch you
Everywhere you go
There used to be laughter
Now only tears
Someone died
Deep inside
This old house
Has been through storms
Hail and snow
Thunder and lightning
Yet came out strong
Has many memories
Of past and future
Just another home
Open the window
Let out the dust
Mop the floors
Let them shine
The spider on the wall
Has been here too long
A beautiful web
She has weaved
But this old house
Needs to let her go
It needs lots of work
People to come and go
