Lawnchairs (The Backyard Party)

Unfold the lawnchairs, lie down for a rest Tell me you're not scared, it's all for the best Trim the trees early, sweep all the floors Get the room ready, stand by the door Please don't remind me you've already left Just tell me you're happy, it's all for the best Just tell me you're happy, it's all for The house is sold, the kids are gone The trees are cut, the place looks wrong Without a stage, without a host This party's dead and I'm the ghost That hangs around to watch and hope I'll catch a gentle falling note Fold up the lawnchairs, lie down for a rest Tell me you're not scared, it's all for the best I trimmed the trees early, I swept all the floors I got the room ready, I stood by the door Oh, please don't remind me you've already left Just tell me you're happy, it's all for the best Just tell me you're happy, it's all for the best
