The sign went up one rainy morning just a couple of hours after dawn
Mrs. Hanley peeked 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 crystal and the linen sit all packed and set to go
I tell myself once more I won't be here this 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 tray
My mother gave us on our wedding day

House for Sale...
