This House

This House - Ken Hensley

This house is empty

This house is sad

I've got a feeling

That's something bad has happened here

This house is lonely

This house is cold

This house was young once

Now it's just old and full of fear

Once filled with laughter

These silent walls

Echo with love lust

Until the silence falls again

These rooms seem dead now

There is no light

Nowehere the romance

That used to make my dark days bright

Not for the first time

This emptiness

Someone is guilty

But no one's likely to confess

They danced their dream here

One summer night

'Til they became just

Two more people fighting to be right

What kind of evil can tempt a heart

Into the torment that only tears sweet love apart

Once filled with laughter

These silent walls

Echo with love lust

Until the silence falls again
