She's Back

somewhere else 'cross pavement plains and footpath fields
a shadow falls upon the house
complete with suitcases, a suitbag and her glasses
she's come to darken my door
say what's mine is ours

she's back
she's back
educate me in the ways of women now
she's back

walk away past cladding boards and whitewashed fences
where locomotive lights are bright
feel the howling wind
as carriage after carriage rushes in
run the tunnel shouting
hear the echoes take their flight

she's back
she's back
educate me in the ways of women now she's back

confrontation - the kitchen light starts to swing
disturbing moths on their way home
it's cold inside - the spiders umpire from the corners
say the things that cut until you reach the bone

she's back
she's back
won't you educate me in the ways of women now she's back

educate me - are you ready for this?
all I want is the truth
come on sister - are you ready for this?
all I want is the truth
