Feminine Casualty
Music and Lyrics by L. Gillam

It’s been a long day for so little pay
Every minute seemed like an hour
Not a single break since half past eight
When he stepped dripping wet from the shower

Calls her on the phone, he can’t make it home
He hopes the words sound sincere
He’s a good guy and that first bitter lie
Will be washed away with a beer

He’s made a vow to be hers ‘til the day that they die
But passion fades just as sure as the blue in the sky
He’s grown tired and weak and the pain leaves him wondering why
They didn’t spread their wings set their sights on the stars and just fly

She’s thinking of her Nate and how he’s working late
And those nasty words spilled ‘til dawn
Through glassy eyes, she vows to compromise
And count her blessings from now on

‘ Cause she’s made a vow to be his ‘til the day that they die
Yes, passion fades just as sure as the blue in the sky
Another bump in the road and the hurt leaves her wondering why
Life is such a struggle but she knows that they’ll always get by

She plays it cool as he takes a stool
Serves him drinks till life’s a blur
She knows it’s wrong but before too long
He’ll be going home with her

They’ve made a vow to be one ‘til the day that they die
But passion fades just as sure as the blue in the sky
Complacent hearts fail to thrive and leave us wondering why
Life can change in the blink of a wandering eye

Solo

They’ve made a vow to be one ‘til the day that they die
But passion fades just as sure as the blue in the sky
Restless hearts are to blame and leave us wondering why
Life can change in the blink of a wandering eye
