The Clearing Sale (1992 - Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:01]

Have you ever stopped to linger when a clearing sale is done[00:00:07]

And the warmth of that old homestead seems to vanish with the sun[00:00:13]

All the bidders have their bargains and the auctioneer is paid[00:00:20]

And the twilight wraps the old home in its dreams of yesterday[00:00:26]

The gate is swinging open as I take the lonely path[00:00:35]

No welcome lights the window no cheery blaze to warm the hearth[00:00:41]

And I feel like an intruder as though I walk on sacred ground[00:00:47]

Only silence comes to greet me for the shadows make no sound[00:00:54]

There's a rocker in a corner but it won't rock no more[00:01:05]

There's a lucky horseshoe hanging still on a nail above the door[00:01:12]

I step upon a child's toy hell a broken tip truck red and blue[00:01:20]

Oh I seem to hear a child laugh maybe you can hear it too[00:01:27]

I see my own reflection in a mirror on the wall[00:01:34]

And a picture of a horse team lies forgotten in the hall[00:01:40]

Just a few things no one bid for and now they're set aside at last[00:01:49]

Like the memories of the homestead now they'll slip into the past[00:01:55]

I wonder how the old man felt to see his tractor go[00:02:03]

And it must have hurt the old wife though she'd never let it show[00:02:09]

To see the things she had a lifetime now pass into other hands[00:02:17]

No a clearing sales' not easy friends when it's time to leave the land[00:02:23]

Just a few discarded relics of the days that used to be[00:02:31]

And I leave them as I found them for what could they mean to me[00:02:38]

Now the night is on the old house and the starlight softly gleams[00:02:44]

As I close the gate behind me and leave the homestead with its dreams[00:02:50]
