robbie schaefer - bookends lyrics
she on the left, he on the right
sit in their living room
stare at the fire, sparks up the flue
escape to the night, bedtime soon
and sure there’s plenty to talk about
but there ain’t much to say
god’s on the mantelpiece
and what’s he got to do with all of this anyway
and the silence here is written
it’s the holiest you’ve ever seen
these two just bookends
to the sp+ces
in bеtween
they say they can talk about anything
unlike so many othеrs they know
three out of five end in divorce
that’s a matter of course, they read it was so
she closes her book, he puts out the fire
she turns down the bed, coming dear
they lie in the dark, listening to
whispering ghosts in the downstairs room
and sure there’s plenty to talk about
but there ain’t much to say
god’s on the mantelpiece
and what’s he got to do with all of this anyway
but the silence here is written
it’s the holiest you’ve ever seen
these two just bookends
to the sp+ces
in between
