The Lucksmiths - Weatherboard lyrics

It was summer when she moved in And it was winter when she moved out again And the sky was usually blue And the single bed was big enough for two It's funny the things that stay with you Her j**ellery on the table and the smell of her perfume The candle wax on the carpet, singing in the supermarket And the wall paper in her bedroom I'll never understand how it happened like this I drew an open hand and she drew a fist I drew an arrow and a heart, she drew a razor and a wrist She said 'I love you when it's sunny' But the sun refused to shine And I was crucified on the clothes line She stole a magazine from the laundromat Did it weigh upon her conscience as it lay upon her lap The body is willing but the mind is weak The champagne is chilling and the wine is cheap The milk was always spilling and we cried ourselves to sleep It was summer when she moved in And it was winter when she moved house again The boxes on the floor And the note that she pinned to my door This house is made of sticks This house is made of straw This house is made of bricks This house is made of weatherboard
