My Wife And My Dead Wife Lyrics

My Wife And My Dead Wife lyrics

My wife lies down in a chair
And peels a pear
I know she's there
I'm
making coffee for two
Just me and you                    
But I come back
in with coffee for three
Coffee for three?

My dead wife sits in a
chair
Combing her hair
I know she's there                
She wanders
off to the bed
Shaking her head
"Robyn," she said
"You
know I don't take sugar!"

My wife and my dead wife          
Am
I the only one that sees her?
My wife and my dead wife
Doesn't anybody
see her at all?
No, no no, no, no no no no

My wife sits down on the
stairs   
And stares into air
There's no one there
I'm drilling holes
in the wall
Holes in the wall
I turn round and my dead wife's upstairs 

She's still wearing flares
She talks out loud but no one
hears

And I can't decide which one I love the most
The flesh and
blood or the pale, smiling ghost

My wife lies down on the beach   

She's sucking a peach
She's out of reach
Of the waves that crash on
the sand
Where my dead wife stands
Holding my hand                  


Now my wife can't swim
but neither could she
And deep in the
sea
She's waiting for me

Oh, I'm such a lucky guy          
'Cause
I've got you baby and I'll never be lonely
