Haunted (Lyric) by Bachus

There was a room It was cold and removed At the end of a hall Where pictures hung true. And never 'nough light To make out a face Of children dressed up By brides in white lace. Dusty and old Turned the house with its age Like a book read too much Cracked spine shedding page. I still walk by quite often Call it heartache, or need I try remembering you, but... Without chipped paint, or weeds. Another Autumn's coming With its frost and clear skies Bringing winter upon me Like the day that you died.

Bachus 30-Aug-04/10:52 AM
The house is a metaphor for a person...
you know, getting older, overgrown? like a house would.
You've never seen an old overgrown yard with a house somewhere in it?
