lyrics

Lilly
In the early hours, before the clock strikes 5
The light comes on down the hallway and I know she is alive
I hear the shuffle of her slippers on the floor
I just can’t wait to see her, when she walks through the door

She rubs her tired eyes and stops to say hello
She’s really scarry, with her curlers to and fro
She’s off to work now, and I don’t know what I’ll do
Another day-- and I don’t know if I can make it through

When I’m alone, she seems so far away
When I’m alone, every day....

Over on the fridge, there’s a bug that I adore
All day long he crawls from the door down to the floor
If he was bigger, I would surely say hello
But he’s just a bug- and that’s all he’ll ever know

When she comes home, she’ll open my door up wide
When she comes home-- then I’ll fly
When she comes home, everything’s gonna be OK
When she comes home, when she comes home

Every time that Lilly leaves I feel so down and out
Will she return, before the moon comes out
Did I hurt your feelings, or forget to say goodbye
Is this just punishment for telling you a lie?

Oh I hate it, when her boyfriend’s in the house
He always smells like beer, and talks-- so loud
Sometimes they get close, and they begin to dance
Oh I know I’d beat him up, if I -- ever had the chance

When she comes home, she’ll open my door up wide
When she comes home-- then I’ll fly
When she comes home, everything’s gonna be OK
When she comes home, when she comes home

When she comes home, when she comes home
When she comes home, when she comes home
When she comes home, when she comes home
When she comes home, when she comes home
