| An orange green labrador | |
| Sits in the clouds | |
| Geraldine watches nearby | |
| The sun's going down on a | |
| Shadow of doubt | |
| A car careens into the drive | |
| Way up the tree Geraldine's in her house | |
| Dousing the flames on the beam, she's | |
| {Outside everyone | |
| Never speaks, holds her tongue | |
| Dreaming a ring and a gown | |
| She is downstairs on the couch | |
| With her Ma | |
| Watching the tv set stars | |
| But outside everyone | |
| Never speaks, holds her tongue | |
| Dreaming a ring and a gown | |
| She is down} | |
| Ma takes a break from her crochet to say | |
| "Make this one tall, I am parched | |
| I don't understand all these children today | |
| I met your dad under the arch | |
| Way up in her bean Geraldine's in her thoughts | |
| They say it's a stage in-between, she's | |
