sell the house

put the tv on the lawn

with the bicycles and boots

take your wedding dress to pawn

take my pistol and my suit

sell the house

sell the car

take the kids to jacksonville

give them a kiss

for the father they'll miss

tell them that i love them still

i remember long ago

in that brown catskill school snow

oh the life we dreamt of way back then

hey there dorothy stop your crying

i'll put your favorite record on

hey there dorothy wheres your smile?

just one more kiss before i'm gone

sell the house

sell the car

take the kids to jacksonville

give them a kiss

for the father they'll miss

tell them that i love them still

and always will

and always will

to chain me to the earth

it would take a length of chain

twenty-five thousand miles long

to wash me away it would take a length of rain

twenty-five million mornings long

to chain me to the earth

it would take a length of chain

twenty-five thousand miles long

i have always been and i will see no end

twenty-five million mornings long

and that's a long length of chain

and that's a long time to wait

to move me with hate it would take an army greater than

25 million soldiers strong

to move me with love it would take the birds above

oh the singing of a song

and that's a long length of chain

to chain me to the earth

it would take a length of chain

twenty-five thousand miles long

i will always be like the ever-changing sea

25 million years to come

and that's a long length of chain

and that's a long length of chain
