This House is Haunted
This house is cold and empty. Broken windows are all dark
The paint is peeling, old and grey, the yard is bare and stark
When I walk by I feel the cold rustling in the leaves
And when I stop to listen, I hear them whispering in the eaves
Chorus
This house is haunted
By a love that's dead and buried
Haunted
By two souls that once were married
Haunted
Their ghosts still walk these halls
They're haunted,
Trapped in these four walls.
He was building onto it as he built his family
Another room, another child, kept him too busy to see
When money started running thin, he felt like he had failed
And since she couldn't read the signs, the sign now reads, "For Sale"
Chorus
Bridge:
Can’t you hear the children praying
Listen to what they're saying
"We don't need a house that's grand
Just don't give up on what you're holding in your hand"
I see them floating through their lives. To work, then home to bed
Hoping some new love will come and raise them from the dead
Lurking in the shadows, the days tick by so slow
Unfinished house, unfinished lives, they just can't let it go 'cause they're still haunted...
....haunted
By a love that's dead and buried
Haunted
These souls that once were married
Haunted
Their ghosts still walk these halls
They're haunted,
haunted,
haunted,
Their ghosts still walk these halls
They're haunted,
Trapped in these four walls.
