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.

Did you ever see an old house while driving down a country road and wonder who lived there and what happened to them?
