Cricket Wife

Time has stopped, the air is still

Nothing moves or ever will

Present tense is future past

Velocity slows so fast

The air is still

Nothing moves or ever will

I'm going home, I've had enough

Call a taxi, I want my stuff

Where are my shoes, my coat, my hat?

Get me out, I smell a rat

I can't remember why or where

They brought me here but this is there

And then is now, a sudden sigh

And now it's late and where am I?

And where am I?

Where am I?

A sudden sound

Where am I?

Whey are my shoes, my coat, my hat?

Just get me out, I smell a rat

Whey are my shoes, my coat, my hat?

Just get me out, I smell a rat

Whey are my shoes, my coat, my hat?

Just get me out, I smell a rat

I can't remember why or when

They brought me here

But this then and then is now

A sudden sigh, a sudden sigh

And now it's late and where am I?

A sudden sigh, a sudden sigh

And now it's late and where am I?

Another sigh then sleep to dream

Laughing, flying from the scene

I saw you clearly in my mind

Flying, leaving all behind

Bones and blood and anxious anger

Replaced in space by girlish laughter

A sunny day

He's turn to bat

The cricket wives sip tea and chat

That's that, he's out, not such a bad innings

They still have a fair enough chance of winning

His boyish smile

She understands him

His lack of guile

Her soul demands him

He packs his bags

They're off together

And that was that

And is forever
