It Beats Me

Did I watch you wash away your life
And polish up your forks and knives
And left the kitchen crystal clear
Did you put me in my resting place
Beside the cups there was no place for fear
There’s someone calling for me
Just seeing you talk
Don’t listen to me
We’ve been through the hoops
Before, you know, it beats me
Did I watch you wash away your life
And polish up the forks and knifes
And I watch the crystal disappear
Did I try to run to your defense
And make some jokes at my expense
And watch you boil some water for the sake of it
There’s someone calling for me
Just seeing you talk
Don’t listen to me
There’s someone it’s colm for me
Just seeing you talk — you don’t listen to me
Hail Mary, motherless grace
Hail Mary, marvelous grace
