They say this house is haunted But all these ghosts I've grown with As it slips away from me I still hold on hopelessly I lay my head to sleep and say goodnight Bringing up four daughters Made the house a fortress Dirty knees and honey bees And nowhere else would sting as sweet Can't believe we're turning off the lights And one day I'll drive past you If I recognise you I'll try not to stay too long See the soil I grew upon In a couple years I'll be alright So darling Pull the curtains And in the morning Let me lie here with you Don't say that I'm leaving (don't say that I'm leaving) In the morning Let me lie here with you
