Poor Wages

  • And with the dawn she changes
    Her voice in different ranges
    The torn and tattered pages
    For all I've done, poor wages
    Satisfied, I never lied
    Say goodbye I couldn't try

    Destroy her cards and letters
    Act like I never met her
    Hardest of all, forget her
    Until my heart is better
    Satisfied, I never lied
    Say goodbye I couldn't try

    And with the dawn she changes
    Her voice in different ranges
    The torn and tattered pages
    For all I've done, poor wages
    Satisfied, I never lied
    Say goodbye I couldn't try
