The woman beside me
Journals her day
Never pausing never never pausing
To choose what she might say
How can I
Without her feeling invaded
Let her know let her let her know
Her entry's misdated?
She catalogs vanity
Aging and diet
Savors her sanity
By keeping it quiet
Never to worry you
The child beside her
Just a blurry view
Inside her
And she would even run the risk of falling through
To run atop these clouds with you
Leafing through a magazine
Cake on the cover
"Life could all be sugary sweet"
So dreams the mother
She catalogs vanity
Aging and diet
Savors her sanity
By keeping it quiet
Never to worry you
The child beside her
Just a blurry view
Inside her
And she would even run the risk of falling through
To run atop these clouds with you
