Old House

There's an old, old house that once was a mansion
On a hill overlooking the town
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 rain starts to drip from the trees
There's an old man who walks through the garden
And his head is bowed in memory

They say he built a mansion because of a woman
They planned to be married in the fall
But her love withered in the last days of summer
And the house was left empty after all

But when the leaves start to fall in autumn
And the rain starts to drip from the trees
There's an old man who walks through the garden
And his head is bowed in memory
