Empty House Lyrics - Delta Spirit

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
