Girl I came home early,
You thought I was workin,
two glasses on the table
cigarettes still burnin,
I heard the back door slam,
footsteps on the run
Your hair was a mess
Ya had buttons undone

Chorus:
Well I just came home to say good bye
and tell you this fool ain't so blind
I got a new place to stay today
Got the cable hooked up and my rent is paid
Gonna watch old movies where love was true
and forgive my heart for loving you.  


You put up a front,
But I read your face,
One look in your eyes
sent the truth my way
I could smell cologne
The kind I don't use
You turned way from me
but you knew I knew

Chorus:
Girl I just came home to say good bye
and tell you this fool ain't so blind
I got a new place to stay today
Got the cable hooked up and my rent is paid
Gonna watch old movies where love was true
and forgive my heart for loving you.

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

I've never heard it said that way...
but why not?  Forgiveness has to start
somewhere....

very cool, Ethome...very good!

Ethome, this is a perfectly beautiful,
yet sad, love song. Hope it's just
from "observation" and not "participation".
Thanks for sharing with us.


~With Love And Hugs!
