Della Reese - Melancholy Baby

A Cottage for Sale

A little dream castle
With every dream gone
Is lonely and silent
The shades are all drawn
My heart is heavy
As I gaze upon
A cottage for sale

The lawn we were proud of
Just waving in hay
A beautiful garden
Has withered away
Where you planted roses
These weeds seem to say
A cottage for sale

From every single window
I can see your face
But when I reach the window
There just empty space

The key's in the mailbox
Just the same as before
But no one is waiting
For me anymore
The end of our story
Is told on the door
A cottage for sale

Is how another end
No one is waiting for me anymore
At the end of our story is told on the door
A cottage for sale, my welcome dream
Com'it for sale
