honor role - listening to sally lyrics

every thursday, sally brings in all her things
and dumps them on the office floor
so we can pick through and then decide
their relationship to her
now she’s waiting, while i’m thinking
she’s deciding on the things i’ll say
that she will be ignoring, or she’ll remember and repeat

she wants an expert’s opinion
but really anyone who will listen
my number was in the book so she called
and then came over
she works, you know, her husband’s gone
because of him, there were no children
she works hard selling real estate
there’s no one she can really talk to
she gets embarrassed by her passion
she gets embarrassed by her brain
there is no reason to be embarrassed
and no reason to be ashamed

she wasn’t always like this
she slowly grew this way
she had friends that she could talk to
working out her problems that way
then she got married
lost some friends and time took more
over time they dwindled from neglect
she was alone when her husband died
new she rolls up every thursday and we talk
for an hour or so
about the loneliness she’s feeling
that she’s sure she’s not been cured

the clock is tick+tick+tocking
and her checks just keep on popping into my mailbox

don’t tell me buddy
it gets hard to say no

anyone could see if it’s half wrong, half right
but the money is the exchange
that keeps it going long past the point where she’s alright
is it psychological addiction
to want to find someone who will listen?
now she’s staring at the ceiling
waiting to find out what it is she’s feeling
and all that i can do is try to be honest
and try to make do
