About

Waits:

That was the house I used to go by when I would drive my kids to school, abandoned and the weeds were literally as tall as the trees. At Christmas time, all the neighbors in the area kicked in and bought some lights for it. It was kind of touching. It was like the bad tooth in that smile of...

House Where Nobody Lives Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Everyone calls it the house
The house where nobody lives

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
Well, the paint was all cracked, it was peeled off of the wood
The papers were stacked on the porch where I stood
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 where nobody lives

[Chorus]
Oh well, once it held laughter
Once it held dreams
Did they throw it away?
They know what it means?
Did someone's heart break?
Or did someone do somebody wrong?

[Verse 3]
So if you find someone, someone to have, someone to hold
Don't trade it for silver, oh, don't trade it for gold
'Cause I have all of life's treasures
And they're fine and they're good
They remind me 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 nothing but a house
A house where nobody lives
Without love it ain't nothing but a house
A house where nobody lives
