Three

The day that we were married the people shook my hand

They said we two were now as one and me the lucky man

From that day on that's all I ever wanted us to be

Until the day you told me we'd be three

Then we began to waiting and made our little jokes

You couldn't look at monkeys and I gave up my smokes

You prophesied he'd be a boy and look a lot like me

Lord but I was proud that we'd be three

One night the endless days of waiting all came to an end

You woke me from my restless sleep and said we must go in

The sun won't rise on any day again like that for me

The day had come that two would soon be three

I smoked that endless burning chain of bitter cigarettes

I must have walked a thousand miles with fear in every step

Two long days and two long nights and I refused to sleep

And they were losing hope that we'd be three

The preacher came the doctor came and said I must be brave

I remember saying it was more than I could take

Now what's the world to do with such a crazy man like me

A lonely one who wanted to be three
