Sad Estate

I'll fix it myself I don't need Anyones hand helping me I'm a clever boy, I'll figure it out wait and see But you've been away for so long Been writing you all these sad songs Just hoping you'll come back and forgive me for doing you wrong The teary tea kettle and sink The dining room chairs cry and creak Don't you worry I'll fix it you can count on me But you've been away for so long Been writing you all these sad songs Just hoping you'll come back and forgive me for doing you wrong You know I could build you anything you could ask for Build you a house with a garden and a swing on the porch But that bridge burned down five years ago across the Mississippi Theres nothing left and I can't fix that Not on my own Cause you've been away for so long Been writing you all these sad songs Just hoping you'll come back and forgive me for doing you wrong Yeah you've been away for so long Been writing you all these sad songs Just hoping you'll come back and forgive me for doing you wrong I'll strip the windows painted shut And sweep the chimney clear of soot If you help me breathe some life into it
