The Auctioneer's Waltz
(Spoken)
Gather round everybody; ?cause we?re ready to start
What price for the memories; left to this broken heart
Who will place the first bid; for the ring made of gold
That she left in the hand; she once wanted to hold
And the house that one time; was a home that we shared
Filled with empty reminders; of a heart that once cared
Give me ten, give me twenty; make it one hundred tears
Won't you help me let go; of all those wasted years
Going once, going twice; please forgive me my faults
I'm just stumbling through The Auctioneer's Waltz
All the pictures of us; during happier times
Won't you take them away; let me leave them behind
And the bed where we lay; through the long lonely nights
Till she told me goodbye; and walked out of my life
Give me ten, give me twenty; make it one hundred tears
Won't you help me let go; of all those wasted years
Going once, going twice; please forgive me my faults
I'm just stumbling through The Auctioneer's Waltz
Now who'll take a chance on this broken down man
Put the pieces together; maybe nobody can...
Give me ten, give me twenty; make it one hundred tears
Won't you help me let go; of all those wasted years
Going once, going twice; please forgive me my faults
I'm just stumbling through The Auctioneers' Waltz
I'm dancing my way through The Auctioneer's Waltz
