The House Song |
This house goes on sale ev’ry Wednesday morning |
And taken off the market in the afternoon. |
You can buy a piece of it if you want to It’s been good to me if it’s been good for you. |
Take the grand look now the fire is burning |
Is that your reflection on the wall? |
I can show you this room and some others |
If you came to see the house at all. |
Careful up the stairs, a few are missing |
I haven’t had the time to make repairs |
First step is the hardest one to master |
Last one I’m not really sure is there. |
This room here once had childish laughter |
And I come back to hear it now and again |
I can’t say that I’m certain what you’re after |
But in this room, a part of you will remain. |
Second floor, the lady sleeps in waiting |
Past the lantern, tiptoe in it’s glance |
In the room the soft brown arms of shadow |
This room the hardest one to pass. |
How much will you pay to live in the attic? |
The shavings off your mind are the only rent |
I left some would there if you thought you couldn’t |
Or if the shouldn’t that you’ve bought has been spent. |
This house goes on sale ev’ry Wednesday morning |
And taken off the market in the afternoon. |
You can buy a piece of it if you want to It’s been good for me if it’s been good for you. |
