When you go up in that loft today you'd better prepare for tears
When you go up in that loft today
You'll find ghosts from so many years
The ghost of a kid who knew how to smile
Before divorce overshadowed the child
Today's the day I'm sorting out the attic
If you're going into the loft today
You'd better prepare for tears
If you go into the loft today
You'll have to face all your fears
The memories there are hard to see
The photographs of a happier me
Today's the day I'm sorting out the attic
If you go into the loft today
You'd better prepare for tears
If you go into the loft today
You'll cry like you've not for years
Your grandad's there and so is your friend,
The loves you lost and fought through to the end
Today's the day I'm sorting out the attic.
If you go into that loft today
You'd better prepare for tears
If you go into that loft today
Your ghosts will be far too near
The Christmas cards from people long gone
Their photographs where the memories linger on
Today's the day I'm sorting out the attic.
