The Girl in the Window Chair

(альбом: Out Of All This Blue - 2017)

She knew she'd had a close escape
When she heard his voice on tape
That the man who wrote those words
Could never comfort her
And she thought
Of all the things that would go wrong
If they'd carried on
And what a fool she'd been to think that they belonged
When she heard those songs
Those dolorous songs
Those heart-scorned, prim, self-pitying, dolorous songs

She sat down at a window chair
She brushed and ponytailed her hair
And thought about his changing moods
All that anger and such victimhood
And she imagined
The hour he knew that love was gone
That bitter dawn
When he reached for a pen and turned his bedlight on
And wrote those songs
Those dolorous songs
Those heart-scorned, prim, self-pitying, dolorous songs
Those songs
Those dolorous songs
Those heart-scorned, prim, self-pitying, dolorous songs

Those songs... those songs
Those songs... those songs
