So, I'm the first one in again, |
| [00:19.05] |
With the quiet and the window growing snow, |
| [00:30.41] |
When I hear the furnace rouse itself |
| [00:37.35] |
From its slumber, somehow suddenly I know, |
| [00:44.72] |
As my eye stops on one curled up in my lesson plan |
| [00:56.66] |
That I'm just your little ampersand. |
| [01:06.78] |
. |
| [01:11.05] |
When your voice springs from the intercom |
| [01:17.55] |
With announcements, and reminders, and a prayer, |
| [01:30.05] |
I remember how you made me feel, |
| [01:36.77] |
I was funny, I was thoughtful, I was rare, |
| [01:46.40] |
But like the jokes about my figure |
| [01:50.27] |
Kids think that I don't understand |
| [01:58.27] |
I know I'm just your little ampersand |
| [02:05.65] |
. |
| [02:10.77] |
After Christmas holiday |
| [02:17.83] |
You never asked to drive me home again |
| [02:29.90] |
Sometimes in the staff room I |
| [02:37.39] |
Catch your eye with "why'd it have to end," |
| [02:46.52] |
But I know from how you worry at your wedding band |
| [02:58.77] |
That I'm just your little ampersand |
| [03:06.33] |
. |
| [03:47.46] |
At the last conjunction after every other and |
| [03:59.52] |
I was just your little ampersand |
