lyrics

I found the perfect house for you
Two sinks in the kitchen where the light runs down the hall
No shadows there at all
And the mugs hang line in sentry on the flour-faded rack
To wait the morning ritual

And the earth is solid oak
And the oak is set in stone
And it’s fair to say this house could be your one forever home

And the earth is solid oak
And the oak is set in stone

Though I can’t make this house a home for you no more
That don’t mean you should lock your hope behind its door

I ain’t saying that you have to forget about me
All the same I think you could use the company

There’s more than one for you
I know I am dying in the back of a crumpled car
I’ll bleed forever more
On the way home you will find me and you’ll cradle my poor head
Upon your lap until I’m dead

Tell your grandkids so they know
That the knowing sets you free
Then live together in the house I found so happily

Where the earth is made of oak
And the oak is set in stone

Though I can’t make this house a home for you no more
That don’t mean you should lock your heart behind its door

I ain’t sayin that you have to forget about me
All the same I think you could use the company
I beg you darling please, move on for me
Well I beg you darling, please
