Seven Or Eight Days

She gone 7, 7 or 8 days She gone where I don't even know Clock like a steam-drill, tearin up the wall The dog's in the cellar again I changed my shirt from a white one to a red But that was back, I don't remember when I'm learnin all the rules that I used to think the fools followed Back when life was livin for the heart I'm stumbling to the fridge to find that beer I know I hid, and laughin, "Ain't love just like fumbling in the dark" She gone 7, 7or 8 days She gone where I don't even know At dusk the kids are playing, saying, "Mama, let us stay out" They still believe that they'll outrun the sun The dog's under the porch-light, sleeping with his one eye open Hopin for some leftover from lunch When the street-light has begun And the mothers take their sons And stow them safe and warm away behind the door I'm cryin in my plate and I'm trying not to hate the way The dirt makes faces on the kitchen floor She gone 7, 7 or 8 days, She gone where I don't even know Lord, take the heart of a woman And show me where it says that love is blind Because it watches when you're sleeping, till you're snoring Then she's creeping down the hallway and away into the night She gone 7, 7 or 8 days, She gone where I don't even know
