Old Old House

There's an old, old house that once was a mansion

On a hill overlooking the town

But time has left a wreckage where once there was beauty

And soon the old house will tumble down

But when the leaves start to fall in autumn

And the raindrops drip from the trees

There's an old old man who walks in the garden

And his head is bowed in memories

They say he built the mansion for the love of a woman

They planned to be married in the fall

But her love for him faded in the last days of summer

And the house stands empty after all
