She watches his truck roll in |
|
Counts the days till it rolls back out |
|
They can go for a week, maybe, if they
don't speak |
|
Of those things they fight about |

2. |
Maybe This Time he'll
help with the babies |
|
Maybe This Time he'll
paint their room |
|
Maybe he will recall that the light in
the hall |
|
Has been broken since early last June |
|
|
3. |
He knows it isn't a motel |
|
It isn't a roadside cafe |
|
He just can't get up, leave a buck by
the cup |
|
Turn his back and drive away |
|

break |
She got caught between starlight and sunshine |
|
Woke up in the cold light of day |
|
She dreamed of the life she'd have as
his wife |
|
She can't make it turn out that way |

|
4. |
Maybe This Time he'll
help with the children |
|
Maybe This Time he'll
fix the fence |
|
Maybe he will recall he broke the light
in the hall |
|
It’s been hanging like that ever
since |
|
