lyrics

Since they asked me
I'll turn all of these towels into squares
They look past me
At the men who sit solidly stuck to their chairs

But I had a purpose so honest and true
Though it seemed at the time there was too much to do
All the hours leading up to an ending
I thought I'd want

He knocks over
Stacks of linen so carefully made
White like Dover
Can't he see I was there too, and how I was paid for it

No one tells you an arm's no excuse
When you're somebody's wife, you'll have to get used to
The same routines as another
Making a home

I don't know how I expect things to be
But I wish they would recognize that this is me
Folding laundry with one arm missing
