lyrics

This is the way your future corrupts:
Our cords are cut, the door slams shut.
The phone won't ring, the mail never shows.
Just occasional pollsters trying to swing your vote.

And each time you recall, you're mind's blown by how many days
Since you've mined up the life that you thought you'd buried once and for all.

And the friends that you both had, they still bring you dinner,
Just something to heat up while watching Sportscenter.
Making sure you make it through another winter

This is the time she visits each evening:
The dogs get quiet, the door starts creaking,
I cut the light off, and crawl into bed.
She tries to kiss me, I feel her breath on the crown of my head
And her hair drop through my shoulders.
Every night I fix her tea, I leave it on the nightstand
Young woman, you're a widower's dream.
I'd wish for you could stay, but I know you've gotta leave someday.
