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 |

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 |

He knows it isn't a motel |
| |
It isn't a roadside cafe |
| |

Turn his back and drive away |

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 |

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 |
| |
