I saw a Tic Toc video of an old house that looked like the people just vanished, so I thought I'd write a song. Needs music and vocals.
Abandoned Home
© 2022 Cindy Prince
At the edge of a clearing
With paint chipping away
An old Victorian home
White, now faded gray
Many windows were cracked
Yet the drapes were still there
I decided to go inside
And I climbed up the stairs
The wooden door creaked
The entry way was grand
There was no one there
Yet something touched my hand
Chorus
Abandoned home
Where did they go?
Everything was still intact
Abandoned home
Now stands all alone
Why didn't they come back?
Bridge
In an upstairs room
The child's bed is still made
There are dolls and a rocking horse too
Now it seems like a tomb
Where children once played
Now only ghosts are passing through
All the furniture was still there
Even a baby's basinet
The spices left in the kitchen
The dining table still set
An old piano in the parlor
Sheet music still there
It's like they all vanished
Into thin air
Repeat chorus

Really nice story. I can totally picture the music to be quite haunting. It would be awesome with piano or keyboard….

Wonderful lyrics Cindy! I see Joanne is grabbing it first.

I will just say what a lovely lyric and so so singable and will wait to hear Jo do a great job on it hopefully not a goat singing!
