Tuesday's Child ( reprise)

I get into the car, and double check
I park and look, while locking the doors
You are not there; you have had a wreck
I go to the kitchen to mop the floors

The trust I gave and the love I offered
Is just garbage on the floor
The temptation is to let them sit
And walk right out the door

But I will clean this lovely mess
Make ready for captain's meal
Tomorrow is a new card game
And you're not there to deal

Once more the arrow I will take
Once more the cruel bombast
For Cupid seems the devils' agent
How long must this ache last?

Tuesday's child, not full of grace
Instead just wilted loss
A dream believed in by a fool
And paid at such dear cost

Don't talk to me of wrinkled tin
The roof won't keep me dry
I tried to do the honest thing
Now all I do is cry
