Delta Spirit - Empty House lyrics

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
