Old Roofless House

Just an old roofless house

But I still recall

When music and laughter

Would ring through your walls

You've weathered the sky

On your rooftops too long

But I still remember

When you stood proud and tall

And I remember the nights

That you kept me warm

There was love here inside you

It's within I was born

As I stand here I feel

This is where I belong

As a ghost from the past

Revives an old song

Now the people who lived here

Have drifted away

If my wish would come true

They'd be all here today

So if I close my eyes

My feelings will be

Of this house and my loved ones

And some fond memories

As I stand here I dream

Of some children at play

How quickly we grew

And all went away

It's because times were hard

We left you behind

But I had to come back

For my own peace of mind

I remember the nights

That you kept me warm

There was love here inside you

It's within I was born

As I stand here I feel

This is where I belong

As a ghost from the past

Revives an old song

Now the people who lived here

Have drifted away

If my wish would come true

They'd be all here today

So as I close my eyes

My feelings will be

Of this house and my loved ones

And some fond memories

So as I close my eyes

My feelings will be

Of this house and my loved ones

And some fond memories
