We had what they wanted, we had it all
good news and happy smiles on every Christmas card
but like the Berlin wall, they watched us fall
And the rooster knows when the need for him goes because she’s such a cleaver hen
the pig messes his hay before he goes on his way out of the torn and tattered pen
but she screams Amen
I'll start a life alone in a cabin in the hills
and work through all this disbelief with therapy and pills while you pay my bills
Summers by the sea, winters in the mountains
in the springtime tulips grew outside a happy home
but in the thirty fifth fall this union fell apart
after all this time together now where do we go?
I'll start a life alone in a cabin in the hills
and meditate these days away taking deep breaths until
I've worked through all this disbelief and can leave it all behind
and can find myself at last alone now with a peaceful mind
I've got myself at last alone now with this peaceful mind
peaceful mind
I had what I wanted, but then burned crisp I swore off your kind
and so my mother and I together go along our ways
to find independent routs for women unsure in these days
when one can build her home and breed alone and as sure as we can
we still may find a guilty pleasure in the comfort of a man
there's always room for natures comfort in the warm arms of a man
So now I've got my life alone in a cabin in the hills
but I've left the door cracked open now with warm pie on the sill
and an open mind about your kind and hope to find a friend
and to start a nice new story this one with a happy end
I'll start a nice new story this one with a happy end.
