My Wife and My Dead Wife

My wife lies down in a chair
 And peels a pear
 I know she's there
 I'm making coffee for two
 Just me and you
 But I come back in with coffee for three
 Coffee for three?
 My dead wife sits in a chair
 Combing her hair
 I know she's there
 She wanders off to the bed
 Shaking her head
 "Robyn," she said
 "You know I don't take sugar!"
 My wife and my dead wife
 Am I the only one that sees her?
 My wife and my dead wife
 Doesn't anybody see her at all?
 No, no no, no, no no no no
 My wife sits down on the stairs
 And stares into air
 There's no one there
 I'm drilling holes in the wall
 Holes in the wall
 I turn round and my dead wife's upstairs
 She's still wearing flares
 She talks out loud but no one hears
 My wife and my dead wife
 Am I the only one that sees her?
 My wife and my dead wife
 Doesn't anybody see her at all?
 No, no no, no, no no no no
 And I can't decide which one I love the most
 The flesh and blood or the pale, smiling ghost
 My wife lies down on the beach
 She's sucking a peach
 She's out of reach
 Of the waves that crash on the sand
 Where my dead wife stands
 Holding my hand
 Now my wife can't swim
 But neither could she
 And deep in the sea
 She's waiting for me
 She's waiting for me
 Oh, I'm such a lucky guy
 'Cause I've got you baby and I'll never be lonely
 My wife and my dead wife
 Am I the only one that sees her?
 My wife and my dead wife
 Doesn't anybody see her at all?
 No, no no, no, no no no no
 No, no no, no, no no no no
 My wife and my dead wife
 Am I the only one that sees her?
 My wife and my dead wife
 Doesn't anybody see her at all?
 My wife and my dead wife
 Am I the only one that sees her?
 My wife and my dead wife
 Doesn't anybody see her at all?
