House For Sale Lyrics

The sign went up one rainy morning Just a couple of hours after dawn Mrs Hadley peaked out through her curtains Wondering what was going on The neighbours said over coffee cups That nice young couple is breaking up And in the living room the linen and the crystals Sit all packed and set to go I tell myself once more I won't be here this spring To see my roses grow And all the things you tried to fix The roof still leaks the door still sticks House for sale You can read it on the sign House for sale It was yours and it was mine And tomorrow some strangers will be climbing up the stairs To the bedroom filled with memories The one we used to share I know you've always loved that painting From that funny little shop in Spain Remember how we found it when we ducked in From that sudden summer rain But I think I'll keep the silver tray My mother gave us on our wedding day House for sale You can read it on the sign House for sale It was yours and it was mine And tomorrow some strangers will be climbing up the stairs To the bedroom filled with memories The one we used to share House for sale You can read it on the sign House for sale oh It was yours and it was mine And tomorrow some strangers will be climbing up the stairs To the bedroom filled with memories The one we used to share
