Mine

Blown in winds of mischance
 He would stay but that's not his way
 What escape for her she swims in the dark
 In too deep but still waves - "I'm okay
 And I don't need his name, thank you
 Mine fits me nicely and mine will do"
 Unsteady footsteps can't walk alone yet
 He's sends a postcard says he's in debt
 Now she's treading water got a back room to let
 Curses in the backyard neighbors on the doorstep
 "You must give your child a name some time"
 Well you mean his and what's wrong with mine?"
 Sometimes she could kill him
 Sometimes this house gets too small
 She drives him to distraction
 To see if he will fall
 But if the truth were told
 Which it never is
 With a family like that
 Who needs enemies
 She'd be better on her own
 You sink her like a stone
