lyrics

Honey, could you fix me a drink
I am standing on the brink
Of nothing
And your smile is the only thing worthwhile

Do you remember that Oprah episode
All of those families that lost their homes in Louisiana
How you said you couldn't imagine
Losing your whole life in the blink of an eye

Honey, could you please get the door
There was a notice, we've a week
Maybe more.
If we just stay, what are they gonna do?
Haul us away?

You have a sister in Wisconsin
I'm sure she gets lonely now that the children have grown
I have a brother, but Owen's got his own problems
Though I'm sure he'd love to help

Honey, will you come with me
As we say goodbye to our lovely neighbors
I won't be clearing the driveway
They'll have to find someone else by November
