The Old House Songtext
von Marianne Faithfull

I saw a stranger
Sitting in shirtsleeves
Outside the old house, the old house
I didn′t know him
Nor him me
Passing the old house, the old house
He should be careful
When he locks up at night
The door of the old house, the old house
For my father's ghost, my mother′s ghost
Left me the keys to the old house They say break in, scare them away
These folks that live in the old house
Who is that stranger house
Sitting in chains
Outside the old house, the old house
I don't know him
Nor him me
Haunting the old house, the old house
For my father's ghost, my mother′s ghost
Left me the keys to the old house
