John McDermott – The Old House lyrics
Lonely I wander through scenes of my childhood
They bring back to memory the happy days of yore
Gone are the old folk, the house stands deserted
No light in the window, no welcome at the door

Here's where the children played games on the heather
Here's where they sailed their wee boats on the burn
Where are they now? Some are dead, some have wandered
No more to their home will the children return

Lonely the house now, and lonely the moorland
The children have scattered, the old folk are gone
Why stand I here, like a ghost or a shadow?
'tis time I was movin', 'tis time I passed on.

    The things I remember when young, the house where we lived my family friends, most people that lived in village were people knew, grew up with, this went on for years, later in life things change, in reality our friends, people we knew, moved away passed on, which leaves us with memories. this song is part of my life.
