How Do I Tell Her

from Big Texas Sky by Darryl Gregory

/

lyrics

She hears me pull into the driveway
Same time for twenty years or more
She’ll be helping the kids with their homework
As I come through that old kitchen door
I pull her in tight and hold a little too long
But she’s holding a stranger and knows something’s wrong

It took one little push in this economy
For the dominoes to fall right down on me
Then the corner office boys
Well they sent me their letter

Now I feel like a thief in the night
Like a ghost in my soul I’m going out of my mind
I’m afraid to deliver disappointment
Collecting her tears in kind
How do I tell her the sun’s going down?
How do I tell her the sun’s going down?
How do I tell her the sun’s going down on me?

She’s searching my face for answers
She studies my hands for signs
Got no Hallmark card to console her
You can’t fix this world with a rhyme
Why can’t I trust her love for me?
Til death do us part and all that’s supposed to mean

I’m too angry and too old to start it up again
When the bank’s run dry there no room to pretend
She says Baby
We’re gonna work it on out

Still I feel like a thief in the night
Like a ghost in my soul I’m going out of my mind
I’m afraid to deliver disappointment
Collecting her tears in kind
How do I tell her the sun’s going down?
How do I tell her the sun’s going down?
How do I tell her the sun’s going down on me?

I’ve lost that free and easy
Got the world on my mind
But when she kisses my face so softly
I just leave my worries behind

She tells me You're no thief in the night
You got reasons to hold your head up high
She says baby I got faith that you’ll deliver
And look your fears in the eye
So why should I care if the sun’s going down
When she pulls me close and turns my head around
She whispers baby our love is the key

Her simple words
Allow the sun – to shine down on me
