Say, say somethin' nice to her, fragrant and sturdier
Delicate hands for shoulders sliding down
Days, days like a summer rain, blink and they’re gone again
Soakin' she sits alone, outside and down
Prays, prays for her soldier boy, in fire and angry noise
Under the thumb of the Lord
And waits, quiltin' and quietly, her minor piano keys
Slip through the screen on the door
Say, say what you mean to her, washing her colander
Eyes on the stranger cresting around the bend
Days, days like the winter snow, linger 'til heaven knows
Naked, she sings the table grace and then
Prays, prays for her soldier boy, in fire and angry noise
Under the thumb of the Lord
And waits, quiltin' and quietly, her minor piano keys
Slip through the screen on the door
