Lyrics

Mothers new lover

Mothers new lover, Daddys bruised heart
17 years now falling apart
he wonders why, what did he do
was he so blind that he never knew
how she cried and how she hated the night
how she tried until she gave up the fight
and she knew all along that her cheating was wrong
but she'd steal away into the night

I wait by the window and I watch for the car
hearing the wind blow I wish on a star
she walks through the front door and she
slips off her shoes
Daddy's been waiting, he's been watching the news
and he's changing the channel and he's closing his eyes
as he listens to Mamma while she's telling him lies
and he closes the back door and he turns out the light
and he's taking my Mamma and he's holding her tight

Gently he takes her into their room
softly the breezes and gently the moon
softly they whisper, sadly they part
silent the sounds now of two empty hearts

and they think I'm sleeping
here in my room
as I
pull the covers over my head and I cry
and I cry
I cry
