Sandy (2007)

Sandy

After hours in the waiting room they sent us home
A prescription and a bedpad and a number to phone
Early in the morning took the kids off to school
Called in sick to work, told them I caught a flu.

I rocked and I rocked in the rocking chair
A dead cold dread wrapped tight to my heart
Not even thinking about what might have been
Just rocking, and rocking, and rocking again.

Sandy with the saddest liquid eyes
I saw you through the bottom of a bottle
Spinning faster than all the others
You are always watching me watching me

You said, I can't stand it, you lurking around
Looking hurt, I hurt, it doesn't help me
When you lurk, just go, take your phone
Right now I need to be alone

So I fished the tiny bits from the toilet bowl
Put them in a cup and walked out the door
Went down to the lab, where I filled out a tab
With our names and the date, what it was for

Sandy with the saddest liquid eyes
I saw you through the bottom of a bottle
Spinning faster than all the others
You are always watching me watching me
