The House Song

[Verse 1]
This house goes on sale every 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Careful up the stairs, a few are missing (Missing)
I haven't had the time to make repairs
First step is the hardest one to master
The last one I'm not really sure is there

[Verse 4]
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 (Will remain)

[Verse 5]
Second floor, the lady sleeps in waiting
Past the lantern, tiptoe in its glance
In the room the soft brown arms of shadow
This room the hardest one to pass

[Verse 6]
How much will you pay to live in the attic?
(How much will you pay?)
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

[Verse 7]
This house goes on sale every 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
