I can see the kitchen light   From the road where I park my bike   But it's dark there as it often is these days   And the gloomy living room   Really needs a dust and broom   But I can't brush your memory away      Her father was an admiral   In someone else's navy   And she had seen the world before I met her   She would wash and clook and clean   And all the other things between   And Like a fool I just sat there and let her      Now I can feed, and dress, and wash myself   And sleep without the light on   Honey I'm a big boy now   I don't know what she does   With all the money that I sent her   She's running round the town with the young pretender      I haven't touched the garden   Since the day she walked away   From a love affair that bore on me bitter fruit   She took everything she wanted   Which is why she left me here   With the pots and pans and my old wedding suits      A letter came one morning   That she would not let me see   And from that day I began to realize   That she would one day break   The home we trie to make   For sinners cannot live in paradise      Now I can feed nad dress and wash myself   And sleep without the light on   Honey I'm a big boy now   I don't know what she does   With all the money that I sent her   She's running round the town with the young pretender   I don't know what she does   With all the money that I sent her   She's running round the town with the young pretender
