The family who had this house I know
They won't be coming back here though
A spark settled on the thatch
And burnt it down a year ago

The husband had already left
Her car turned over in the snow
The tears flowed as, bereft
Across the fields her dreams did blow

The old life gone, they have moved on
And we are here to put it back
So another family can come to live
Beneath its thatchy hat
