Goodbye Again

Every night she sleeps alone
 And by her bed she puts the phone
 And every morning after that
 She takes the phone and puts it back
 He's got a wife back home
 And three kids up and grown
 But these are things that go unsaid
 He might call her from the road
 Just in time to say hello
 And goodbye again
 She keeps his picture tucked away
 She think she'll have it framed one day
 And maybe he'll come see it there
 Hanging by her rocking chair
 In a corner of her room
 On a Sunday afternoon
 When all the world is dull and grey
 She might close her eyes and sit
 Rocking gently for a bit
 'Till all the bad thoughts go away
 Back when children played their games
 London bridge and Jesse James
 She captured flags, she bounced the ball
 And every time she beat them all
 Now she comes home to her cat
 In a three room walk up flat
 And plays a game of solitaire
 Well, she made a fist last night
 And she broke the hallway light
 And the pieces scattered everywhere
 You see, he's got a wife back home
 And three kids up and grown
 But these are things that go unsaid
 He might call her from the road
 Just in time to say hello
 And goodbye again
