The Inoculated Canaries - The Lawyer's Wife Lyrics

Another drink, another line to doe
But I don't have one for you
Take my advice, the lawyer's wife said
"The Lord will get me through this"

But she didn't know
She was all alone
Her son the preacher said he'd meet her
But he got drunk and stayed at home
But she didn't know
About the affair
Sweet sixteen I seen her runnin' round the way

Wastin' time
Wastin' away with you as we race around the sun
I watch the nights
Turn into days as the piper calls you home

But we didn't know
It was all in vain
We're just too far gone to feel all of our pain
But we didn't know
It was always there
Stuck in the back of our minds like the nagging from your mother

But she didn't know
He was always there
When no one else was but she just pushed him away
But she didn't know
He was all alone
Her son the lover, fighter, finding his own way
