Empty House

Glinting gems in the concrete I paved One every couple of feet They got mixed up in the lyme and the sand Nobody noticed but me How could one little speck Make a difference to the rest Well it doesn't, no one cared Except me I payed my debt to the hotel unknown I drove so far, out of funds They kept me up, a family untied I shared their wall and their secret I can tell you this much There is no love when bankrupt Just an empty gutted house And a grave I got this limp from a favor I did Some folks don't like charity Copper pipe is worth more than you'd think There ain't no point blaming me How could one little speck Make a difference to the rest Well it doesn't, no one cared Except me How could one little speck Make a difference to the rest Well it doesn't, no one cared How could one little speck Make a difference to the rest Well it doesn't, never will Just like me
