The sign went up one rainy morning

Just a couple hours after dawn

Mrs Hadley peaked out through her curtains

Wondering what was going on

The neighbors said over coffee cups

That nice young couple is breaking up

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 in spring

To see her roses grow

And all the things I 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 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 keep the silver tray

My mother give us on a 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

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
