Letra de Queen of the rummage sale

She was the queen of the rummage sale
The curator of a great collage
She would rescue every beautiful thing
The brick-a-brack, the hodgepodge
And stack the boxes in her parents´ garage
I had to learn how to travel light
With a satchel and an old suitcase
It really wears you down
To carry on at that pace
Cause you´re never standing in one place

Odds and ends held together with safety pins
I know there´s a lot to fix
So I´m taking it stitch by stitch
If we can, gonna build us a promised land
It comes to us secondhand
I think we´ll do fine

Now we´re driving down the palisades
It feels good to get out of town
And we´re stopping at every yard sale sign
Or use the classified to track â??em down.
She takes my hand and leads me around
These are colors that I´ve never seen
So sudden and so bright
In the places that I´ve been before
And I realize that I´m looking through her eyes

Odds and ends held together with safety pins
I know there´s a lot to fix
So I´m taking it stitch by stitch
If we can, gonna build us a promised land
It comes to us secondhand
I think we´ll do fine

Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.

I carry boxes up a hundred stairs
And she unpacks and laughs and cheers
And I finally put my suitcase down
Between the picture frames and souvenirs
I think I´ll stay for a thousand years

If we can, gonna build us a promised land
It comes to us secondhand
I think we´ll do fine
And if we fail we can follow a bread crumb trail
Drop a coin in a wishing well
I think we´ll do fine
And in the end we´ll be calling up all our friends
All our friends think we´ll do fine
