From: "Eh, Lass!"
Kitchen
Did you tell him how you slept elsewhere last night
You couldnt stomach coming home this time
Too many fears lay behind that kitchen door
Too many tears within these walls
Did you tell him given time
You would have chosen not to be his bride
And now youve got the nerve to go
And baby never come home
And when he says he cares for you, just nod
And when he says its all for you think
God had never meant it all this way
Nothing that you dreamed of was so grey
And its the lump that blocks your throat that stops you saying
That this is not love, not hate
Its just a patch of land between two gates
Did you tell him that your lifes not real estate
And it is not up, not down
Its just a patch of scrawny built-on ground
Did you tell him what you learned why you have to quit
Youve to play with fire to get that fire lit
Did you tell him that your choices are your own
Of what to change and what to leave alone
Theres nothing wrong with the stuff thats in your head
No matter what he said
Did you tell him once youre packed
Theres not a chance of ever coming back
And somewhere deep in your soul
Youre way on down the road
And when he says he cares for you just sigh
And when he says hes lonely too think
Why does not a word of this ring true
What he says means less and less to you
And youre half way feeling mad and feeling a fool
That this is not love, not hate
Its just a patch of land between two gates
Did you tell him that your lifes not real estate
And it is not up, not down
Its just a patch of scrawny built-on ground
Did you tell him what you learned why you have to quit
Youve to play with fire to get that fire lit
