Girl, How Could You

Walked down the aisle Girl you did, by his side Promised before God to your man The boys came along Adding notes to your song The stave that tucked in and held those notes was you You held your boys and held your man. Girl, how could you break your own stave Oh see, the notes are now drifting away They are crying, can’t you see them dying What is a note without its song? How on earth did things go wrong? See your sweet boys Learning to live a lie With their father they drench their pillows at night They miss your voice You can’t cover up with toys Their sad eyes show the heart that took a blow Oh girl, how could you just leave and go? Girl, when your feet are tired of wandering around You search for those roots that should be underground Girl, don’t you know, roots take time to grow Fruits are reaped only where seeds were sown It was for you to build that place You once called Home.
