Cottage for Sale
Whispers of Abandoned Love: Johnny Mathis' 'Cottage for Sale' Meaning
Lyrics
A little dream castle with every dream gone
A dream castle where all dreams have vanished
Is lonely and silent, the shades are all drawn
Deserted and quiet with closed window coverings
And my heart is heavy as I gaze upon
Feeling heavy-hearted while looking at it
A cottage for sale
A house that is up for sale
The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay
The once proud lawn now covered in hay
Our beautiful garden has withered away
A once beautiful garden now withered
Where you planted roses, the weeds seem to say
Weeds replacing roses, symbolizing neglect
A cottage for sale
The house is available for purchase
From every single window, I see your face
Seeing the person's face from every window
But when I reach a window, there's an empty space
Encountering emptiness when reaching a window
The key's in the mailbox, the same as before
The key is in the mailbox as it used to be
But no one is waiting for me anymore
No one is there waiting anymore
The end of our story is told on the door
The conclusion of their story is evident on the door
A cottage for sale
The house is officially on sale
From every single window, I see your face
Seeing the person's face from every window
But when I reach a window, there's an empty space
Encountering emptiness when reaching a window
The key's in the mailbox, the same as before
The key is in the mailbox as it used to be
But no one is waiting for me anymore
No one is there waiting anymore
The end of our story is told on the door
The conclusion of their story is evident on the door
A cottage for sale, for sale
The house is officially on sale
A cottage for sale
Reiteration that the cottage is for sale
