Breathe Easy - Minibar

Her traveler’s books

Are gathering dust on the shelf

Will somebody else read them now?

She doesn’t need telling

She’s studied the lie of the land

With no slight of hand

She shuffles her memory cards

'Til one of them falls into place

She hands me her door key

As if she were playing an ace

Clubs, diamonds, and spades

Now I can breathe easy

I breathe easy

I breathe easy

Since she left me

Time waves goodbye

She sends funny letters

Peppered with lines that she stole

She’d plagiarize whole paragraphs

Of no fixed abode

RSVP don’t answer back

She’s almost a stranger

A bird that took flight long ago

But I wait by the phone for her call

A change in the season

Precipitates no change at all

Spring, Summer, and Fall

I wish I could breathe easy

I breathe easy

I breathe easy

Since she left me

Time waves goodbye

I need somebody

To fill up my cup to the brim

I’m faltering in midstream

Show me the water

That washes my memory clean

I want to breathe easy

I breathe easy

I breathe easy

Since she left me

Time waves goodbye

Time waves goodbye
