Lyrics:
two bath two bed
studio kitchenette
blackened fireplace hearth
broken stones, ashes, cold cinders
more four walls much less a home

these walls have seen it all
the stories they could tell
broken hearted love affairs
and bittersweet farewells 
these walls have seen a lot
a lot more than most
this house comes with a ghost

when she declared that she was leaving
he did not at first believe it
the front door had been slammed vehemently 
fifty four times before
but when the days became weeks
and the weeks turned into two years gone
a faded pale for sale sign sprouted up in the front lawn   

he’s firing the gas range
she’s admiring closet space
a ghost floats by the front door
and whispers through the windowpane
