THE HOUSE SONG
|
(Bannard/Stookey)
|
|
This house goes on sale every Wednesday mornin'
|
It's taken off the market in the afternoon
|
You can buy a part of it if you want too
|
It's been good for, it'll be good for you
|
|
Take a brand look now, the fire is burnin'
|
It's that your reflection on the wall
|
I can show you this room and some others
|
If you care to see this house at all
|
|
Careful up the stairs, a few are missin'
|
I haven't had the time to make repairs
|
The first one is th hardest one to master
|
The last one I'm not really sure is there
|
|
This room once rang with childish laughter
|
I come back to hear it now and again
|
I don't know why you're here or what you're after
|
But in this room, a part of you remains
|
|
Second floor, a lady slipped and waiting
|
Pass the lantern, tiptoe in its glance
|
In this room a soft brown arms of shadows
|
This room is the hardest one to pass
|
|
