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 |
|
{chorus} . . . |
