Say, say something nice to her
|
Fragrant and sturdier
|
Delicate hands for shoulders sliding down
|
Days, days like a summer rain
|
Blink and they¡¯re gone again
|
Soaking she sits alone, outside and down
|
|
Prays, prays for a soldier boy
|
In fire and angry noise
|
Under the thumb of the Lord
|
And waits, quilting and quietly
|
Her minor piano keys
|
Slip through the screen of the door
|
|
Say, say what you mean to her
|
Washing her colander
|
Eyes on the stranger cresting ¡®round the bend
|
Days, days like the winter snow
|
Linger ¡®til heaven knows
|
Naked she sings the table grace and then
|
|
Prays, prays for her soldier boy
|
In fire and angry noise
|
Under the thumb of the lord
|
And waits, quilting and quietly
|
Minor piano keys
|
Slip through the screen of the door
|
