She sits alone She stares out Upon the golden scene of boats She wishes she could swim away From the world and all that it holds She's had it tough She's had it hard But that is no excuse So I've been told She's grown up She's grown old She's fallen in and out of love I've been told But she will wish her life away Through the good and through the bad And she will wish her life away Through the joy And through the pain Her husband's gone She sits alone Oh by the glow of that small fire She's wasting time, she's wasting wine She's doing all the things I know And she finds it hard to speak her mind She's always just one step behind us all She's grown up She's grown old She's fallen in and out of love I've been told But she will wish her life away Through the good and through the bad And she will wish her life away Through the joy, and through the pain
