lyrics

She cries in the kitchen
lives with her mother
does all her living
through that old console screen
Mom is forgetting
calling her Suzie
even though they named her
Rosalee

chorus:
12 O'clock whistle whines
sounds different all the time
clothes hanging on the line
with the rain closing in
life's lead behind closed doors
young lovers pace the floor
always wanting more
than the places they've been

Not sure how it happened
years come creeping
like the color fading
from a radio flyer
promises made
promises broken
like rollin' and tumblin'
from an old circus wire

chorus

Lies in the bedroom
frames on the mantle
the faces can't know
what the creases may tell
love letters buried
like secrets carried
with the dawn ringing
from a rusty church bell

chorus
