Life of a Wife - Robert Pollard

Noticing the life of a wife

One’s true desire and your real friend

Mother of the wicked and the saved

Oh Mary in the area of phones

Preoccupied with all dreams taken

Fallen you to nowhere

In the garden into planting

Flowers from the last night

Hours from our past lives going down

Down through all the ages

Those that we slept through

Accessories to the grapevine though

I know it’s a long way home

I know you’re suggesting

Drinks for the good times

Drinks to all of us

Noticing the life of a wife

Noticing how east coast traffic blows

To score more in the cake wars, I suppose

That’s right, you don’t even think about it though
