|
Terrified by the plane ride home to your mother's house in Galveston |
|
The furniture was covered all in white |
|
Such a long, long flight, and you spoke no words |
|
Glorified was the yard out front, all the wreaths from acquaintances |
|
On the cards were the names you heard on the phone while your mind wandered far |
|
And you know it didn't mean a thing |
|
She waited for your ring |
|
Mystified by the kitchen's wares |
|
Cupboards full of all your favorite fruits |
|
When you forced me to her bed undressed, her photo on the dresser glared at me |
|
It was then, I noticed you were scared Scared you'd be there soon |
|
Waiting for a ring, I never heard you sing again |
