Lyric Comin Back Soon (the Bereft Man s Song)
I ve all my wisdom teeth
Two up top, two beneath
And yet i ll recognise
My mouth says things that aren t so wise
But when i sing my darling s praise
I know i m right, or close anyways
For she s a gem upon this earth
I know to me she will return
Chorus:
Oh i know it s true, i know it s true
That i was made for her, and she me too
And i m confident that she ll think so too
And she ll be coming back...soon
Mornings we have toast and tea
I gaze across the table, she glares right back at me
And when we re getting low on jam
I give her the last spoonful, that s just the way i am
And i drive her to work each day
Even though it s early and work is far away
And i don t even say a thing
When she plays the radio so loud you cannot think
[chorus]
I can t stand her goddamned friends
But i will tolerate them, even though i hate them
And i will put up with her parents
cause she says i ll not meet someone who is so kind and sweet
Ever again...
[chorus]
I ve all my wisdom teeth
Two up top, two beneath
And yet i ll recognise
My mouth says things that aren t so wise
But when i sing my darling s praise
I know i m right, or close anyways
For she s a gem upon this earth
I know to me she will return
[chorus]
Yeah she ll be coming back...soon
Two up top, two beneath
And yet i ll recognise
My mouth says things that aren t so wise
But when i sing my darling s praise
I know i m right, or close anyways
For she s a gem upon this earth
I know to me she will return
Chorus:
Oh i know it s true, i know it s true
That i was made for her, and she me too
And i m confident that she ll think so too
And she ll be coming back...soon
Mornings we have toast and tea

And when we re getting low on jam

And i don t even say a thing
