Maraschino-Red Dress $8.99 at Goodwill

Those long afternoons

When nobody was home but me

Sun is shining but I dwell in shadow

Maraschino-red dress, $8.99 at Goodwill

I was looking over my shoulder

At the register trying not to be seen

Looking over my shoulder at all

I had appointments today, errands to run

I watch the hours drain away

Mid-grade bourbon sitting in the cabinet

This day's shot anyway

And a couple of beers left from two nights ago

I am hideous and no-one can ever know

When the sun gets low-down, bloody and red

I tie a little knot at the centre of my head

I don't think I'll be showing up

At synagogue at quarter past seven

[01:30.84]Sometimes you go through hell and you

[01:32.32]Never get to heaven

But I thank God

[01:41.97]Who gives strength to the weary

I thank God
