the girl with the champagne grows vegetables and sings
heirloom tomatoes and old spirituals
the sober carpenter sways and doesn't take her hand
she walks away without saying goodbye, resigned
let him, let him, let him please please make the moves
but he is too clear to risk and she is quick to dismiss
but in the light of day
trying hard to shine the love light through watery eyes and
slowly breaking down the dusty door to her heart
hand in hand
goodbyes
