Bob Seger System This Old House Lyrics

This Old House Lyrics

This old house once filled with joy.

With its beauty so entrancing,

Every little girl and boy.

Now its halls are filled with darkness.

Its rooms are dusty, cold.

This old house is growing so old.



Take a walk into the ballroom,

Now it hardly looks the same.

Now
its chandelier is shattered,

Only stillness here remains.

Long ago
there was the laughter

Through the stories that were told.

This old
house has grown so old.



Carefull of the stairs,

Don't sit on
the broken chair.

Peole passing by

Used to pause out in the
square.

Now they go on by,

No one even stops to stare.

It's
so all alone,

No one cares.



They'll tear down this house
come morning,

Build a new one in its place.

Put an end to all its
glory,

Put an end to all its grace.

And the sun will set when
evening comes,

Stars will fill the sky -

And stars will fill the
sky.
