lyrics
Rotting away just like a jack-o-lantern out in July
I made a spark, I was alive, but then the candle died
Watching strangers in the street
Dressed in faces they'll never be
You know it used to mean so much to me
Turning to gray like a rose in a garden
Left by myself in a barren apartment
A broken down car on the side of the road
Look at this empty house that once was our home
I know you wouldn't believe a word if these walls could speak
Or trust the skeletons in my closet on Halloween
Turning to gray like a rose in a garden
Left by myself in a barren apartment
A broken down car on the side of the road
Look at this empty house that once was our home
All on my own on a treacherous mountain
With nothing more than my reckless abandon
I look to the stars when I feel alone
I see this empty house that once was our home
Hello?
Is there anyone?
Hello?
Will you come home?
(No room for confrontation, no time for conversation. Forget this sweet sensation, just watch this degradation) [4x]
Won't you come home?
"Whenever I walk to Suffern along the Erie track
I go by a poor old farmhouse with its shingles broken and black.
I suppose I've passed it a hundred times, but I always stop for a minute
And look at the house, the tragic house, the house with nobody in it.
I never have seen a haunted house, but I hear there are such things;
That they hold the talk of spirits, their mirth and sorrowings.
I know this house isn't haunted, and I wish it were, I do;
For it wouldn't be so lonely if it had a ghost or two.
This house on the road to Suffern needs a dozen panes of glass,
And somebody ought to weed the walk and take a scythe to the grass.
It needs new paint and shingles, and the vines should be trimmed and tied;
But what it needs the most of all is some people living inside.
If I had a lot of money and all my debts were paid
I'd put a gang of men to work with brush and saw and spade.
I'd buy that place and fix it up the way it used to be
And I'd find some people who wanted a home and give it to them free.
Now, a new house standing empty, with staring window and door,
Looks idle, perhaps, and foolish, like a hat on its block in the store.
But there's nothing mournful about it; it cannot be sad and lone
For the lack of something within it that it has never known.
But a house that has done what a house should do, a house that has sheltered life,
That has put its loving wooden arms around a man and his wife,
A house that has echoed a baby's laugh and held up his stumbling feet,
Is the saddest sight, when it's left alone, that ever your eyes could meet.
So whenever I go to Suffern along the Erie track
I never go by the empty house without stopping and looking back,
Yet it hurts me to look at the crumbling roof and the shutters fallen apart,
For I can't help thinking the poor old house is a house with a broken heart."
