jerry st. clair - mrs. jensen sits alone lyrics

mrs. jensen lives alone as the years roll on
with her faded photographs and the memories of times gone
the face of her husband, bill stares at the mantleshelf
she sits and remembers him as he was then, all by herself

she does not understand, the country took her man
oh what a cruel world, isn’t it a shame
that’s it’s not given to those who lose to understand the game

he was always so good to hеr and gentle with their son
richard and shе lived in the house alone while he went to carry a gun
then one morning, the telegram came and with it, her hopes died
the boy, richard was aready at school, so she just sat in the kitchen and cried

she could not comprehend, her husbands life at an end
oh what a cruel world, isn’t it a shame
that’s it’s not given to those who lose to understand the game

and the neighbours thought her very strange
“she never talks to us” they said
and as for the house, it hasn’t been cleaned since god knows when
poor old soul

in time, she resigned herself and richard grew to be a man
and every rememberance sunday, they’d walk hand in hand
see william alfred+edward jensen carved in stone
yet as she stood amidst, the boy scouts bowed in silence, she felt so, all alone
richard got married that year, moved to a bigger house out at schick
oh what a cruel world, isn’t it a shame
that’s it’s not given to those who lose to understand the game

richard had a good job overseas and he was getting ahead
working for an oil company, “well head manager” he said
then a flash fire, and explosion, he never had time
another telegram, mrs. jensen sits alone, quietly waits to die

she wants to be with them, there’s nothing left for her here
oh what a cruel world, isn’t it a shame
that’s it’s not given to those who lose to understand the game
