Baby, can't you cry, or is she ain't letting you? |
|
That eyelash in you eye ain't what's upsetting you |
|
Though she's dead and out of sight |
|
She still throws your shoes across the room at night |
|
And she still says you're cheap and in your sleepsets the sheets alight |
|
So baby, don't you cry, she ain't worth it, and besides, |
|
You're too old for lullabies |
|
So baby, don't you sink back down that corridor |
|
Thake a breath and think what you've been running for' |
|
Cause she can't help you now |
|
All she can do is sulk around your house |
|
And show up in your eyes when you're surprisedthat you're happy now |
|
So be glad and proud, 'cause, baby, you're allowed |
|
And her shadow disappears when you shine a lightdown the years |
|
And torch that hallway of souvenirs |
|
So lately you and |
|
I have spoken of marrying |
|
So it's time to say goodbye to that bag ofbroken things you're carrying* |
|
Cause this time you can't hide |
|
All you can do is trust her loving side |
|
And walk on down the aisle with a smile and her voice inside |
|
So still and quiet |
|
Saying, "Baby, you survived" |
