Legacy

Two hundred books, old coffee cups Dozen spoons, blue tea mugs Three kettles, one broken Old papers, a mystery to me Maybe they tell what I will be When I grow old Keys to locks that don't exist Table from times when we were kids Four chairs, all different I don't need this legacy It only causes pain Better give it someone else So it won't go in vain Old sofa, rugs on floors Misty windows, wooden doors Lonely spider in the roof Big oven without baker I wonder if there is any taker For all these things Paintings on the bedroom walls An old phone that no-one calls A lot of papers in the attic I don't need this legacy It only causes pain Better give it someone else So it won't go in vain Old memories good and bad Can't take just one Can't take just one
