2/8/12 The Song Next Door

This one is a song based off of a story I kinda came up with while writing this song. I haven't actually written the story yet, but I'm going to :) Hope you like it! :D



V1) There is this house. The house next door
It looks so broken. It's been abandoned for sure
Shattered windows. There is glass all around
The place is a mess. Thorns spring up from the ground.

Chorus) But in the stillness of the night
A still small voice starts to soar
I know not where this beauty comes from
The beauty that is, the song next door

V2) That voice, by morning light, is gone
And takes with it that beautiful song
The people wonder, but they don't ask
Could that haunted house just be a mask?

In the stillness of the night
A still small voice starts to soar
I know not where this beauty comes from
The beauty that is, the song next door

V3) It was decided, by the town
That the house, should be torn down
The mysterious house covered with bramble
Was far to much for them to handle

Chorus 2) But in the stillness of that night
The still small voice ceased to soar
Instead faint whimpers could be heard
Replacing the beauty of the song next door

The house was flattened to the ground
And a helpless child there was found
She began to sing again, just as before
When we took in as family the child that was the voice
of the song next door.
