Charles Simic - Eyes Fastened With Pins lyrics

How much d**h works No one knows what a long Day he puts in. The little Wife always alone Ironing d**h's laundry The beautiful daughters Setting d**h's supper table The neighbors playing Pinochle in the backyard Or just sitting on the steps Drinking beer. d**h Meanwhile, in a strange Part of town looking for Someone with a bad cough But the address somehow wrong Even d**h can't figure it out Among all the locked doors... And the rain beginning to fall Long windy night ahead d**h with not even a newspaper To cover his head, not even A dime to call the one pining away Undressing slowly, sleepily And stretching naked On d**h's side of the bed
