What Say You Meg?

歌詞

There’s a house on the hill that’s come up for sale It’s a place I’ve known since I was a lad And it needs a lick of paint and a hammer and a nail But it’s part of a boyhood dream I’ve always had I climb up the hill with the evening news I’ve been sent from the town to deliver And I stand in the porch and gaze at the views Till my eyes are bruised by the sunset’s glow on the river I’d imagine a girl who’d share my life As dreamers will tend to do And the face I’d always conjure up Was no one else but you What say you, Meg? What’s this story’s ending? I want you, Meg, by my side What’s the use, Meg To gaze at a view on your own For rich or for poorer, in sickness and health I will see this through, Meg No chance of this ending Such a view, Meg As we gaze from the house on the hill To love and to cherish, to have and to hold I’m a hard man to beat If I may be so bold And I promise it all by the sweat of my brow Tell me what say you, Meg, now What say you, Meg? How’s this story shaping? I want you, Meg As we gaze from the house on the hill For rich or for poorer, in sickness and health I’d be hard to replace If I say so myself And I promise it all by the sweat of my brow Tell me what say you, Meg, now?
