<br/> He's got a wife back home and three kids up and grown<br/> But these are things that go unsaid<br/> He might call her from the road just in time to say hello<br/> And goodbye again<br/> <br/> She keeps his picture tucked away<br/> She thinks she'll have it framed one day<br/> And maybe he'll come see it there<br/> Hanging by her rocking chair<br/> <br/> In a corner of her room on a Sunday afternoon<br/> When all the world is dull and gray<br/> She might close her eyes and sit, rocking gently for a bit<br/> Till all the bad thoughts go away<br/> <br/> [piano solo: A/E A/E E7sus E7sus A/E A/E D(9) D(9) ]<br/> [ A/E A/E E7sus E7sus D(9) D(9) D(9) D(9) ]<br/> <br/> Back when children played their games<br/> London Bridge and Jesse James<br/> She captured flags, she bounced the ball<br/> And every time, she beat them all<br/> <br/> And now she comes home to a cat in a three-room walk-up flat<br/> And plays a game of solitaire<br/> Well she made a fist last night, and she broke the hallway light<br/> And the pieces scattered everywhere<br/> <br/> You see, he's got a wife back home and three kids up and grown<br/> But these are things that go unsaid<br/> He might call her from the road just in time to say hello<br/> And goodbye again<br/> <br/> [End on D(9).]<br/> <br/> <br/> - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com<br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
