[au:Tom Paxton] |
| [00:06.77] |
She sits on the table in a dress made of paper, |
| [00:13.35] |
Diplomas all over the wall. |
| [00:20.52] |
One university, one school of medicine, |
| [00:26.99] |
She's overwhelmed by it all. |
| [00:32.97] |
The nurse is all sympathy, voice of experience, |
| [00:40.07] |
"Let's have a look at that eye. |
| [00:46.00] |
It's going to look bad for a week, maybe more. |
| [00:52.11] |
Go on, darling, it's all right to cry." |
| [00:59.80] |
"How can I leave him?" she is crying. |
| [01:06.46] |
"What could I do? Where would I go? |
| [01:13.09] |
He didn't mean it, he will change someday. |
| [01:18.79] |
Oh, God, how he used to love me so." |
| [01:38.64] |
The doctor is busy, his manner professional. |
| [01:45.07] |
She finds she must look at the floor. |
| [01:51.46] |
He looks at her eye, at her ribs and her arm, |
| [01:57.84] |
And it seems every last inch is sore. |
| [02:04.49] |
The doctor is handsome, he smells of cologne, |
| [02:10.60] |
And his figure's athletically slim. |
| [02:17.49] |
He speaks disapprovingly, "What did you do |
| [02:23.53] |
To deserve such a beating from him?" |
| [02:31.19] |
"How can I leave him?" she is crying. |
| [02:37.66] |
"What could I do? Where would I go? |
| [02:44.31] |
He didn't mean it, he will change someday. |
| [02:50.07] |
Oh, God, how he used to love me so." |
| [03:09.95] |
The policeman is waiting outside in the corridor. |
| [03:16.58] |
He speaks to her as to a child. |
| [03:23.41] |
He's friends with her husband; he's angry with her |
| [03:28.92] |
And he asks if there'll be charges filed. |
| [03:35.65] |
She says she's not sure, she needs time to recover. |
| [03:42.06] |
She feels beaten down in disgrace. |
| [03:48.69] |
The policeman asks, isn't she secretly glad |
| [03:54.63] |
For a man who'll keep her in her place? |
| [04:02.40] |
"How can I leave him?" she is crying. |
| [04:09.02] |
"What could I do? Where would I go? |
| [04:15.56] |
He didn't mean it, he will change someday. |
| [04:21.32] |
Oh, God, how he used to love me so. |
| [04:28.54] |
He didn't mean it, he will change someday. |
| [04:34.21] |
Oh, God, how he used to love me so." |
