Windows all broken many years ago
Old rusted roof saddled between gables
Overgrown and bending limbs hanging low
High grass is growing wild by the stables

No handle found on the old water pump
Paint is peeling off like paper birch bark
Old oil cans litter rusted rubbish dump
The whole place is just waiting for a spark

Long ago an old man died with no heirs
And nobody showed up to stake a claim
Now has sit sixty years with no repairs
Time has all but forgot the family name

A house is just a house and not a home
When within its walls no families roam
