The House
Kevin T. Bowman Lyrics

Over Yonder by the river stands a memory.
There is a location by the river that holds a memory.

A grave-yard, for a life that used to be.
There is a graveyard that represents a past life.

This ole' homless shelter without Love is made of stone.
The shelter is loveless and made of stone.

Over Yonder this ole'house is all alone.
The old house is all alone.

There's a picture of a happy couple on the wall.
A picture of a once happy couple hangs on the wall.

Near the fireplace sits an empty rockin' chair.
An empty rocking chair sits close to the fireplace.

As the minutes turn to hours still no body's home.
Hours pass with no sign of anyone returning home.

Over Yonder this ole' house is all alone.
The old house remains empty and abandoned.

Outside the backdoor where a path leads to a little field.
Beyond the backdoor is a path that leads to a small field.

There lies a graveyard with some words carved out in stone.
In the field is a graveyard with inscriptions on the headstones.

If you read these words you'll understand the reason why.
By reading the inscriptions, the reason for the graveyard becomes clear.

Over Yonder this ole' house is all alone.
The old house stands empty and isolated.

She died in the night while she was sleeping.
She passed away whilst sleeping.

Nobody ever knew the reason why.
No one knows why she died.

They found his body with a bullet through his brain.
His body was discovered with a gunshot wound to the head.

They buried them together by and by.
The couple are buried next to each other.

Sometimes they say the lights go on real late at night.
It is said that the lights turn on very late at night.

And you can hear there voices singing sweet and low.
Voices can be heard singing softly.

But if you come too close they quickly fade away.
If you approach, the singing quickly stops.

I guess the secrets of this house I'll never know.
The secrets of the old house will forever remain a mystery.

Over Yonder this ole' house is all alone.
The old house is still standing empty and alone.

She died in the night while she was sleeping.
She passed away whilst sleeping.

Nobody ever knew the reason why.
No one knows why she died.

They found his body with a bullet through his brain.
His body was discovered with a gunshot wound to the head.

They buried them together by and by.
The couple are buried next to each other.

Over Yonder by the river stands a memory.
There is a memory connected to the area by the river.

A grave-yard, for a life that used to be.
The graveyard represents a past life that is no more.

This ole' homless shelter without Love is made of stone.
The loveless shelter is made from stone.

Over Yonder this ole'house is all alone.
The old house still stands empty and isolated.
