By the side of the road
There stood an old house,
It's windows were shuttered
A rusty old car in the yard.

It's been how many years
Since this was a home?
Where once stood a fireplace
Now sits a pile of stones.

Rain through the roof,
Wind through the walls.
A lifeless cold building
Where once there was warm.

If you listen in the twilight
You can hear the children call.
Chasing lighting bugs and
Calling Ally,Ally All in free.
