The House Song
BbThis house goes on sale every Wednesday Fmorning
BbTake it off the market in the Fafternoon
GmYou can buy a Bbpiece of it if you Fwant to
BbIt's been good to Cme if it's been Fgood to you
BbTake the grand look now the fire is Fburning
BbIs that your reflection on the Fwall'
GmI can show you this Bbroom and some Fothers
BbIf you came to Csee the house at Fall
Carefull at the stairs a few are missing
I haven't had the time to make repairs
First step is the hardest one to master
And the last one up I'm not sure t's there
Instrumental verse
This room here once had its childish laughter
I come back to hear it now and again
I can't say that I'm certain of what you're after
But in this room a part of you will remain
Second floor the lady sleeps in waiting
Pass the laterns tip-toes in its glance
And in the room the soft brown arms of shadows
This room is the hardest one to pass
How much will you pay to live in the attic
The shavings of your mind are the only rent
I left some of it there if you thought you couldn't
Or if the (') that you boughthas all been spent
Verse 1
