|
| Shawnas, Lisas, Ethels, Mabels
|
| Though he looks a little tired
|
| One eye always pointed skyward
|
| Waiting for a drop of rain
|
| To fall and help to hide the pain
|
| To fall and help to lift the boat
|
| So he can think he’s still afloat
|
| Pretending he ain’t sinking, no
|
| Pretending he ain’t sinking over her
|
| Pretending he ain’t sinking over her |
