Lyrics
The Auctioneer's Waltz
Rick Bailey & David James
(1)
Who'll place the first bid; for the ring made of gold
That she left in the hand; she once wanted to hold
And the house that one time; was a home that we shared
Filled with empty reminders; of a heart that once cared
Chorus:
Give me ten, give me twenty; make it one hundred tears
Won't you help me let go; of all those wasted years
Going once, going twice; please forgive me my faults
I'm just stumbling through The Auctioneer's Waltz
(2)
All the pictures of us; during happier times
Won't you take them away; let me leave them behind
And the bed where we lay; through the long lonely nights
Till she told me goodbye; and walked out of my life
Chorus
Give me ten, give me twenty; make it one hundred tears
Won't you help me let go; of all those wasted years
I'm Going once, going twice; please forgive me my faults
I'm just stumbling through The Auctioneer's Waltz
Bridge:
Now, who'll take the chance on this broken down man?
Put the pieces together, maybe nobody can.
Chorus:
Give me ten, give me twenty; make it one hundred tears
Won't you help me let go; of all those wasted years
Going once, going twice; please forgive me my faults
I'm just stumbling through The Auctioneer's Waltz
End with: I'm dancing my way through the Auctioneer's Waltz.
