lyrics

The fences blew down
And the walls slowly crumbled
No glass in the frames, so the wind blows through
And the roof lets in rain
There are tiles that are missing
But they patch it all up, and they give it the best they can

That old house ain't been a home in so long
The love that filled those rooms is long gone
Still they patch it up and carry on

The shadows close in
All of the colours are fading
And out in the yard, can't get the flowers to grow
There's damp in the walls
Where the paint's been peeling
They cover it up, but it always shows through

But that old place ain't had no warmth for so long
The lights that burned so bright don't turn on
And still they patch it up and carry on

Incidental feelings caused the ground to shift and swell
She couldn’t let the last words go, he knew her oh-so-well
They can't break that spell

No music these days
Flows from out of the windows
No sound of laughter like there used to be
The years glide on by
Any whispers grow fainter
But they answer that bell, and still they carry on

That old life ain't had no friends for so long
The social whirl they knew has moved on
Still they patch it up and carry on
