Comin' Back Soon (The Bereft Man's Song)
I've all my wisdom teeth
Two up top, two beneath
And yet I'll recognise
My mouth says things that are'nt so wise
But when I sing my darling's praise
I know, I'm right, or close anyway
For she's a gem upon this earth
I know to me she will return
Oh I know it's true, I know it's true
That I was made for her, and she me too
And I'm confident that she'll think so too
And she'll be comin' back... soon
Mornings we have toast and tea
I gaze across the table, she glares right back at me
And when we're running low on jam
I give the last spoonful, that's just the way I am
And I drive her to work each day
Even though it's early and work is far away
And I don't even say a thing
When she plays the radio so loud you cannot think
I can't stand her goddamned friends
But I will tolerate them, even though I hate them
And I will put up with her parents
'Cause she says I'll not meet someone who's so kind and sweet
Ever again...
