House For Sale
Gloria Sklerov en Harry Lloyd
uitv.: Margriet Eshuijs


The sun went up one rainy morning
Just a couple of hours of the dawn
Mrs Hedley peaked out through her curtains
Wondering what was going on
The neighbours sat over coffe cups
That nice young couple is breaking up

In the livingroom the linnen
And the crystels sit all packed and set to go
I tell myself once more I won't be here in 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 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 trey
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 ...

================================

Ik heb hier het lied uitgeschreven in 2/4.
Als er een punt voor het akkoord staat dan is dat
een tweede, niet geaccentueerde tel:
De originele bladmuziek heb ik niet kunnen vinden.
