lyrics

They say she was beautiful once, the talk of the town
But that’s all changed, of course, and so they don’t talk much about her now
Her only child has long since grown
It’s been years since he’s made it home

Sorting through what’s left of all the years that she gave
She once remarked it felt like her they were putting down in that grave
All her friends tend to keep away
Guess they ran out of things to say (now that)

He no longer sleeps next to her
He no longer sleeps next to her

Worked her fingers to the bone just to eat some bread
And the oil overflowed for a little while just like the prophet said
Dropped her last penny into the box
The hypocrites just stood and watched (now that)

And she was strong when they thought she’d be falling apart
And she’s learning how to survive with a hole in her heart
And she’s not afraid to make a brand new start
and take her own place in this world
