Dust on the light bulb waxy buildup on floor i can't even clean my house since you walked out the door The dishes go unwashed the supper goes unmade the boy says "Where's my dinner" I'm sittin in the shade The beer is cool and lovely redolent of your scent the dirt is hard and rocky life sucks since you went My brain screams out in anger god dammit see the light his momma says 'You're shirking" but i'm too tired to fight My friends come to console me when they are not entwined but when they are i'm lonely they pay no never mind So up into the ratrace i drag myself again cause i remember lookin out the door at the wolfs grin In suit and tie I tackle the 'real' world on its terms but when i'm done i sit and play with flowers and with worms I greet each day with wonder and joy just like a child god help me though i ponder the reason you're so wild How could i hope to win you with my life cold and barren when you were such a free soul back when i met you then Did loving me destroy this the freedom of your past or should I have paid attention when you said it would not last I think you for your kisses and kind words that you threw so thoughtlessly at me i'm tired of being blue For Spring is here and you are gone what better time to go i will nudge into the the dirt and baby watch me grow I'll find what i've deferred so long the chance to really feel and honesty will not be forced 'cause when you're gone, that's real I'm happy now wth beer and dirt the kid can feed himself and i will play the corporate game just bite me little elf My friends will get me through this storm if they will watch the weather but if they don't i'll wash away and we are done forever |
