Joe Eagleman For Rent
For rent, the new sign in red, should warn of the dangers that lie ahead.
Inside the paper an add is seen, for rent a two bedroom place.
An old couple shows up with wrinkles covered all over their face.
His heart so weak but his love so strong for his wife of sixty-four years.
This is the place they'll live their last days of joy and tears.
For rent, the new sign in red, should warn of the dangers that lie ahead.
Inside the door mixed in a pile are parts of broken toys
And clothes, some his, some hers, and the shoes belong to the boys.
The note on the floor all crumpled and torn had been read and thrown away,
Said I don't love you so don't try to find us today.
For rent, the new sign in red, should warn of the dangers that lie ahead.
Inside the house the smell of fresh bread drifts out of a kitchen that's clean
As a family sits down to enjoy life as good as they've ever seen.
The note on the rose brought home yesterday had been read many times before,
Said you're my love, my life, my joy and so much more.
For rent, the red sign is gone, everything's going right and nothing is wrong.
For Rent.
