Heart of the House Songtext
von Becky Buller

The curtains stay closed so the dust doesn′t show
The linoleum needs fixin'
Nothin′s boilin' on the stove
Used to be a happy home
But nobody's in the kitchen
It′s the heart of the house
The heart of the house
It′s the heart of the house
And it's empty
Ooo
He′s a part of the house
And he's empty At night he comes home and turns the light on
But the darkness stays with him
Sets his dinner on the counter
Can′t put his arms around her
'Cuz nobody′s in the kitchen
It's the heart of the house
The heart of the house
It's the heart of the house
And it′s empty
Ooo
He′s a part of the house
And he's empty


Forty years and four sons have all come and gone
And the clock above the back door′s still tickin'
It don′t get lonelier than this
'Least the cancer took her quick
Left nobody in the kitchen
She was the heart of the house
The heart of the house
She was the heart of the house
And it′s empty
Ooo
He's a part of the house
And he's empty
Ooo
Ooo
