Little House in the Village

Intro Acoustic guitar, cold wind, distant piano

Verse 1

Little house in the village, an abandoned garden

Snow is falling again outside the window

Quiet in the lodge, emptiness all around

Eyes are looking in silence, full of sorrow

Verse 2

An old man swallows his tears in secret

No more happiness, his moment has faded

Quiet and empty, silence all around

Today his wife just didn't wake up

Pre-Chorus

She didn't warm the tea, she didn't give the soup

She didn't say a word, she just left the room

At night she whispered softly in her sleep

And in the morning she was gone at dawn

Chorus

Little house in the village, an abandoned garden

An old man walks in silence, nowhere to go

Sad and grieving, he carries his burden

Hot tea and a sandwich, for the one he loved so

Hot tea and a sandwich, for the one he loved so

Verse 3

Little house in the village, an abandoned garden

An old man walks in silence, walking blind

Sad and grieving, he carries his burden

Hot tea and a sandwich, left behind

Bridge

Often he will walk to her little grave

Whisper softly, grieve for his beloved

Sit in silence by the window in the dark

And remember how she loved him, how she loved him

Guitar Solo Slow, crying blues solo, piano stays underneath

Final Chorus

Little house in the village, an abandoned garden

An old man walks in silence, nowhere to go

Sad and grieving, he carries his burden

Hot tea and a sandwich, for the one he loved so

He sits by the window, and he remembers

How she loved him, how she loved him so

Outro

Quiet and empty

Silence all around

Today she just didn't wake up
