Pulled in the driveway, picked up the paper Found my key, and unlocked the door I walked in, felt like a stranger Like I'd never been there before As I wandered room to room It was silent as a tomb Could have heard a teardrop Could have heard a heartbreak Never saw the flood come Even though I felt the rain Never heard a house sound So loud with memories Where there used to be A happy home In the house on the corner Of lonely and gone If she talked about leaving, I wasn't listening If she showed me a sign, well I never saw Did she stop believing, did I stop giving Can't put my finger on what went wrong Now the quietest noise I'm told, is the sound of letting go Could have heard a teardrop Could have heard a heartbreak Never saw the flood come, even though I felt the rain Never heard a house sound, so loud with memories Where there used to be a happy home In the house on the corner Of lonely and gone Whoa...never heard a house sound So loud with memories Where there used to be a happy home In the house on the corner In the house on the corner Of lonely and gone
