House Where Nobody Lives Lyrics - Mule Variations - Tom Waits

There's a house on my block 

That's abandoned and cold 

Folks moved out of it a 

Long time ago 

And they took all their things 

And they never came back 

Looks like it's haunted 

With the windows all cracked 

And everyone call it 

The house, the house where 

Nobody lives

Once it held laughter 

Once it held dreams 

Did they throw it away 

Did they know what it means 

Did someone's heart break 

Or did someone do somebody wrong? 

Well the paint was all cracked 

It was peeled off of the wood 

Papers were stacked on the porch 

Where I stood 

And the weeds had grown up 

Just as high as the door 

There were birds in the chimney 

And an old chest of drawers 

Looks like no one will ever 

Come back to the 

House were nobody lives 

Photos 

Once it held laughter 

Once it held dreams 

Did they throw it away 

Did they know what it means 

Did someone's heart break 

Or did someone do someone wrong? 

So if you find someone 

Someone to have, someone to hold 

Don't trade it for silver 

Don't trade it for gold 

I have all of life's treasures 

And they are fine and they are good 

They remind me that houses 

Are just made of wood 

What makes a house grand 

Ain't the roof or the doors 

If there's love in a house 

It's a palace for sure 

Without love... 

It ain't nothin but a house 

A house where nobody lives 

Without love it ain't nothin 

But a house, a house where 

Nobody lives
