Sell The House

(Album: Life In The Dark - 2016)

Put the TV on the lawn
With the bicycles and boots
Take your wedding dress to pawn
Take my pistol and my suit

Sell the house
Sell the car
Take the kids to Jacksonville
Give them a kiss
For the father they'll miss
Tell them that I love them still

I remember long ago
In that brown Catskill school snow
Oh the life we dreamt of way back then

Hey there Dorothy stop your crying
I'll put your favorite record on
Hey there Dorothy wheres your smile?
Just one more kiss before I'm gone

Sell the house
Sell the car
Take the kids to Jacksonville
Give them a kiss
For the father they'll miss
Tell them that I love them still
And always will
And always will

To chain me to the earth
It would take a length of chain
Twenty-five thousand miles long
To wash me away it would take a length of rain
Twenty-five million mornings long
To chain me to the earth
It would take a length of chain
Twenty-five thousand miles long
I have always been and I will see no end
Twenty-five million mornings long
And that's a long length of chain
And that's a long time to wait

To move me with hate it would take an army greater than
25 million soldiers strong
To move me with love it would take the birds above
Oh the singing of a song
And that's a long length of chain
To chain me to the earth
It would take a length of chain
Twenty-five thousand miles long
I will always be like the ever-changing sea
25 million years to come
And that's a long length of chain
And that's a long length of chain
