D
I drive alone, home from work
And I always think of
Bm
her
A
D
Late at night I call her, but I never say a
Bm
word
A
G
But I can see her squeeze the
Bm
phone between her
A
chin and shoulder
D
G
Bm
And I can
A
almost smell her
D
breath, faint, with a
G
sweet scent of decay
D
G
D
She serves him mashed potatoes
She serves him peppered
Bm
steak, and
A
corn
D
Pulls the dress up over her head, lets it fall to the
Bm
floor
A
G
And does she ever whisper
Bm
in his ear,
A
all her favorite fruit
D
G
Bm
And all the
A
most exotic
D
places they are
G
cultivated
D
And I'd like to take her there, rather than this
Bm
train I'm
A
on
D
And if I weren't a civil servant, I'd have a place in the
Bm
colonies
A
G
We'd play croquet behind
Bm
white-washed walls and
A
drink our tea at four
D
G
Bm
Within
A
intervention's
D
distance of the
G
embassy
D
The midday air grows thicker
A
w
D
ith the heat
And drifts
Bm
towards the line of
A
trees
D
When negroes blink their eye
A
s,
D
they sink into siest
Bm
a
A
G
And we are rotting like a
Bm
fruit underneath
A
a rusting roo
D
f
G
Bm
We dream our
A
dreams and sing our
D
songs of love -
G
fecundity
Of
D
life and love
G
, of
D
life and
G
love, of
D
life and
G
love
