Torn Screen Door by David Francey Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Late summer day and my love and I went walking
Over hills and fields we walked, laughing and talking
Came across an old farmhouse standing broken and bare
It used to be someone's home, now no one lives there
[Verse 2]
There's a red barn standing held together with nails and dust
And a tired old Massey Harris, all wires and rust
Weeds overgrown in a garden sown with care
It used to be someone's home, now no one lives there
[Pre-Chorus]
And through the crack in the window pane
I hear the sound of the falling rain
Another farm being left run down
Another family moved into town
[Chorus]
Had a life that they tried to save
But the banks took it all away
Hung a sign on a torn screen door
Nobody lives here no more
[Verse 3]
They worked their fingers to the bone
Nothing left they can call their own
Packed it in under leaden skies
With just the wheat waving them goodbye
[Chorus]
Had a life that they tried to save
But the banks took it all away
Hung a sign on a torn screen door
Nobody lives here no more
[Chorus]
Had a life that they tried to save
But the banks took it all away
Hung a sign on a torn screen door
Nobody lives here no more
Late summer day and my love and I went walking
Over hills and fields we walked, laughing and talking
Came across an old farmhouse standing broken and bare
It used to be someone's home, now no one lives there
[Verse 2]
There's a red barn standing held together with nails and dust
And a tired old Massey Harris, all wires and rust
Weeds overgrown in a garden sown with care
It used to be someone's home, now no one lives there
[Pre-Chorus]
And through the crack in the window pane
I hear the sound of the falling rain
Another farm being left run down
Another family moved into town
[Chorus]
Had a life that they tried to save
But the banks took it all away
Hung a sign on a torn screen door
Nobody lives here no more
[Verse 3]
They worked their fingers to the bone
Nothing left they can call their own
Packed it in under leaden skies
With just the wheat waving them goodbye
[Chorus]
Had a life that they tried to save
But the banks took it all away
Hung a sign on a torn screen door
Nobody lives here no more
[Chorus]
Had a life that they tried to save
But the banks took it all away
Hung a sign on a torn screen door
Nobody lives here no more
