Maybe far away

or maybe real nearby

he may be pouring her coffee

she may be straightening his tie



Maybe in a house

all hiden by a hill

she's sitting playing piano

he's sitting paying a bill



betcha they're young

betcha they're smart

bet they collect things like

ashtrays and art



betcha they're good

why shoudn't they be?

their one mistake

was giving up me!



so maybe now its time,

and maybe when I wake,

they'll be there calling me baby, maybe...



Betcha he reads

Betcha she sews

Maybe she's made me

a closet of clothes



Maybe they're strict

As straight as a line

don't really care

as long as they're mine!



So maybe now this prayer's

the last one of its kind.

won't you please come get your baby, maybe...
