Where Love Lived

 

Here’s where the house stood

The house where love lived

All that is left standing are the bricks

 Laying one on top of the other

They held up the house where love lived

Where has the love gone

That lived in the house where love lived

It’s gone with the children of the children

That lived in the house where love lived

For five generations the family lived in

The house where love lived

Planting the fields and tending the livestock

Living in the house where love lived

Then the rain stopped and the ground dried up

The livestock had to be sold

The bank came and sold the farm

No one bought

The house where love lived

With no one to live in it

 The house where love lived

Crumbled and died

Now all that is left of

The house where love lived

Are the bricks laying one on top of the other

Forming a shrine to

The house where love lived
