Well she watches again as he drives away

like a million times its another day

he closes the door without asking her why

there’s a single tear hanging from her eye

And the days are so lonely when you’re home all alone

with nobody there who really cares

you wanted more and you settled for less

all the acres are yours and your gingham dress

Can you feel him in the deep of the night

and do you miss his touch

Everything you left behind for the quiet life

She picks up the phone its a voice from the past

she can hear him say are you happy at last

she’s torn up inside should she hang up or lie

there’s a single tear hanging from her eye

Can you feel him in the deep of the night

and do you miss his touch

Everything you left behind for the quiet life

The day turns to night and he walks in the door

not like the times that he did before

he pulls her up close and he whispers her name

swearing a love that’ll never end

And she touches his face washing away his pain

she sees in his eyes the reason she came

and they sway to the sound of nothing at all

there’s a single tear hanging from his eye

Can you feel in the deep of the night

your life worked out right

Everything you left behind for the quiet life
