What Say You Meg? - Sting

There’s an house on the hill that’s come off for sale

It’s a place I have known since I was a lad

And it needs only a carpenter an hour and a nail

Whit the spur of the boy of dream I’ve always had

I climbed 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

Until my eyes are bruised by the sunset’s glow and the river

I’d imagined a girl with whom share my life

As dreamers are all tempted to do

And the face I always come up

Was no one else but you

What say you Meg?

What’s the story’s ending

I want you Meg

By my side

What’s the use Meg

To gaze at the view on your own?

For rich or for poorer

In sickness in 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 heaven to odd

I’m a hard man to beat

If I’m maybe so bored

And I promise it all by the sword of my brow

Tell me what say you Meg now?
