lyrics

House For Sale (by H Martin)

House for sale, I'm moving on
I couldn't tell you what went wrong
But this house is for sale it won't be for sale long

The gutters leak and the back door creaks
The porch is leaning into next week
This could be the bargain you were waiting for

It was once the sweetest of all homes
With a big old garden where the kids would roam
But now they're gone and it's only a house for sale

chorus
What good is sitting still while all around is falling
I wish I'd known while there was time to heed the warning

Instrumental

House for sale it's going cheap
Just put your money down and it's yours to keep
House for sale, it's going going gone

chorus
