TWO WOMEN
(Bob Lind)

Bob Lind - 2004


Diana says, "Man, that shirt
Brings out the blue in your eyes"
She tells you the things you say
Are such a welcome surprise
Sarah says, "Jesus Christ,
Do we have to hear that story again?
Can't you pick up around you?
I'm not your maid. Is it too much to ask?
Put a coaster under that glass"

Diana looks in your eyes
And sees there's somebody there
Sarah can only see the clothes
You left on the chair
Diana brushing by, her fingers
Tingling your neck, triggers a memory
You start reaching back for the day
Sarah used to touch you that way

You twist your wedding ring
And wonder whether everything
You used to think was right could now be wrong
But buddy, don't kid yourself
If you move on to something else
Diana will be Sarah before long

Sarah picks up the kids
And brings in the groceries and bills
She knows you and loves you anyway
Like no one else ever will
Diana will always call from the shadows
Promising more
Either way, it's not easy
Every step, either road that you take
You're gonna carry the choices you make
