Lyrics

She stays away from fitted clothes
She doesn't dwell on mirrors
And in the eyes of Average Joes
She knows she disappears
For thirty summers, push and shove
She's learned the stubborn laws of love

But it's not something she talks about
It's not something you say
It's something she's learned to live without
At least one more day
Her toughness keeps it covered up
Like snow covers seeds
It's not something she talks about
But, oh, it's something she needs

He's lived alone since Mildred passed
His children call on Sunday
But all how long a week can last
When time's no longer money
And it's almost more than he can stand
To dream the touch of Mildred's hand

But it's not something he talks about
It's not something you say
It's something he's learned to live without
At least one more day
His toughness keeps it covered up
Like snow covers seeds
It's not something he talks about
But, oh, it's something he needs

It's a teenage boy on a Detroit street
Where every smiles a riddle
It's a mom and dad in the courtroom heat
Split right down the middle
It's the "different" kid at the Dairy Mart
That the cool kids make a game of
It's a sad old world, with a broken heart
And a need she knows the name of

But it's not something she talks about
It's not something you say
It's something she's learned to live without
At least one more day
Her toughness keeps it covered up
Like snow covers seeds
It's not something she talks about
But, oh, oh, it's something she needs
