Yard Sale new Lyric
'Yard Sale'
copyright 2014 by Richard Reiley
Welcome to my yard sale
Where I'm clearing out a path
Through a life of work and promise
And these old photographs
Wanna know about this big pile
Of keychains, keys and locks?
They'll fit just like a picture
In this old cigar box
No I don't remember
It's been a long, long time
Who'll offer me a dollar
Or a good ole US dime?
Need a book by Dorothy Parker?
Or Ring Lardner, if that's your speed?
Never heard of either?
Well then, why'd you learn to read!
Shared memories are all gone now
Now the memories are just mine
Who'll offer me a dollar
Or one good ole US dime?
Welcome to my yard sale
Welcome to my life
What will you carry with you?
Could you use this pocket knife?
