Story Behind The Song
an old empty deserted house off the street caught my attention.and I wondered what it must have been like to live their long ago when it was a home full of light and comfort for those who dwelled there.

Lyrics
Rain stained, sun bleached, a weathered house off the street.Just a vacant and empty shell.A sweeter kindness once rose and fell.No footsteps you hear a comin',just a steady rain keeps a drummin'. And nobody knows where anyone goes, like so many voices lost in the rain.
Boarded up, it stands alone. Abandoned, against the storm.The light gone long ago, when a sweeter kindness, opened the door.You can hear the hush, feel the rush,something inside reaches to touch.And nobody knows where anyone goes, like so many voices lost in the rain.
Dreams they haunt, even after the sound of unhurried laughter,disapears in a pitter-patter, like so many voices lost in the rain.
