george perle - i know some lonely houses up the road lyrics

Loading...

i know some lonely houses off the road
a robber’d like the look of —
wooden barred
and windows hanging low
inviting to —
a portico
where two could creep —
one — hand the tools —
the other peep —
to make sure all’s asleep —
old fashioned eyes —
not easy to surprise!

how orderly the kitchen’d look, by night
with just a clock —
but they could gag the tick —
and mice won’t bark —
and so the walls — don’t tell —
none — will —

a pair of spectacles ajar just stir —
an almanac’s aware —
was it the mat — winked
or a nervous star?
the moon — slides down the stair
to see who’s there!

there’s plunder — where —
tankard, or spoon —
earring — or stone —
a watch — some ancient brooch
to match the grandmama —
staid sleeping — there —

day — rattles — too
stealth’s — slow —
the sun has got as far
as the third sycamore —
screams chanticleer
“who’s there”?

and echoes — trains away
sneer — “where”!
while the old couple, just astir
fancy the sunrise — left the door ajar!
