And the last thing I´d recall Her body standing on the stone Sandy wiping her grey eyes I was pleased and frightened To see a grownup woman cry
She blamed her housemaid for her mind But I think they all knew it had to happen - some time.
I had rushed home from school To see my favourite show And as it happened, it was deadly cold that day And as I peeled my mittens frozen to my wrists with snow I swore I heard a voice come from the living room And say: "Oh...God Oh...God Oh...well..."
And when I peered into that room My little abdomen took sick Sandy hanging from the light
Her Levis wrapped around her neck
It was a sight to see Old Sandy finally seeing me And though she couldn´t speak I had a sinking feeling that she would have said: "Oh, darling....more mascara?"
She looked so peaceful in the air The lightbulb shining in her hair Her face was free It frightened me She looked happy I guess she found a difference
And I thought about the joke Where the man keeps up his rotting wife She had maggots in her mouth
I wondered if I would sleep that night
And then the car drove up And then the car drove up And I remember sleeping And I remember sleeping...
And they wrapped her up and drove away And now I have this crazy fantasy...
