My Baby Leaves Today

Same clock
Same buzz, annoying fuzz
But a little more alarming today
Same coffee
Same cream, same ol’ dream
That she found some way to stay

I knew this day would come
But damn, it really did

Same paper
Same views, same ol’ news
But a little more depressing this morn
Same wardrobe
Same shoes, I’ve got the blues
Think I’ll layer something tattered and torn

I’ve been awake for hours
And I can’t get used to it
I’m a little uneasy
‘Cause my baby leaves today

Same traffic
Same schools, clumsy fools
But I don’t feel like yelling just yet
Same airport, same gate
Same long wait
As we sit in a silent duet

I feel so sorry for any friends
I see today
I’m a little on edge
‘Cause my baby’s gone away

She lives in a different town
Same state but distant county
I need a quicker picker upper bounty
Or I’ll just slink back into my room…….alone

Same nightcap
Same prayer, space to spare
In my bed all alone, toss & turn
Same plan
Two weeks, another streak
Of endurance before her return

One last tear
Before I look to that fine day
When the planets align
And my baby’s here to stay
