Peter, Paul & Mary - The House Song Lyrics
This house goes on sale evry wednesday morningAnd taken off the market in the afternoon.You can buy a piece of it if you want toIts been good to me if its been good for you.Take the grand look now the fire is burningIs that your reflection on the wall?I can show you this room and some othersIf you came to see the house at all.Careful up the stairs, a few are missingI havent had the time to make repairsFirst step is the hardest one to masterLast one Im not really sure is there.This room here once had childish laughterAnd I come back to hear it now and againI cant say that Im certain what youre afterBut in this room, a part of you will remain.Second floor, the lady sleeps in waitingPast the lantern, tiptoe in its glanceIn the room the soft brown arms of shadowThis room the hardest one to pass.How much will you pay to live in the attic?The shavings off your mind are the only rentI left some would there if you thought you couldntOr if the shouldnt that youve bought has been spent.This house goes on sale evry wednesday morningAnd taken off the market in the afternoon.You can buy a piece of it if you want toIts been good for me if its been good for you.
