	作词 : DiFranco
	She went over to his apartment
	Clutching her decision
	And he said, did you come here to tell me goodbye?
	So she built a skyscraper of procrastination
	And then she leaned out the twenty-fifth floor window
	Of her reply
	And she felt like an actress
	Just reading her lines
	When she finally said
	Yes. it's really goodbye this time
	And far below was the blacktop
	And the tiny toy cars
	And it all fell so fast
	And it all fell so far
	And she said:
	You are a miracle but that is not all
	You are also a stiff drink and i am on call
	You are a party and i am a school night
	And i'm lookin' for my door key
	But you are my porch light
	And you'll never know, dear
	Just how much i loved you
	You'll probably think this was
	Just my big excuse
	But i stand committed
	To a love that came before you
	And the fact that i adore you
	Is but one of my truths
	What of the mother
	Whose house is in flames
	And both of her children
	Are in their beds crying
	And she loves them both
	With the whole of her heart
	But she knows she can only
	Carry one at a time?
	She's choking on the smoke
	Of unthinkable choices
	She is haunted by the voices
	Of so many desires
	She's bent over from the business
	Of begging forgiveness
	While frantically running around
	Putting out fires
	But then what kind of scale
	Compares the weight of two beauties
	The gravity of duties
	Or the ground speed of joy?
	Tell me what kind of gauge
	Can quantify elation?
	What kind of equation
	Could i possibly employ?
	And you'll never know, dear
	Just how much i loved you
	You probably think this was
	Just my big excuse
	But i stand committed
	To a love that came before you
	And the fact that i adore you
	Is just one of my truths
	So i
	I'm goin' home
	To please the one i so love pleasing
	And i don't expect
	He'll have much sympathy for my grieving
	But i guess that this is the price
	That we pay for the privilege
	Of living for even a day
	In a world with so many things
	Worth believing
	In
	Clarinet, saxophone ?hans
	Trumpet ?shane
	Electric and acoustic baritone guitars, singing ?ani
