There's a house for sale up on the hill
Lights are off and all is still
Each fall that tree drops all its leaves
It's like a widow bent over with grief
I wish nothing had ever changed
I want the picture that came with the frame
It's got a spacious lawn and a white picket fence
How something so calm can be so intense
The edging's done and the grass is mowed
It don't feel like it was that long ago
The sidewalk's been cleared of all the stains
I want the picture that came with the frame
There's a sign out front but nobody's buying
The house has a past there's no denying
What happened there was so abrupt
The wound may be healed but you still feel the cut
The present fills up with the past's remains
I want the picture that came with the frame
