White Out

White Out - Penelope Houston

When you get home I cover your eyes

When you get home I cover your eyes

Let me help you off with your golden chains

We'll throw them in the river sink down to the bottom

And the fish swimming over

Will think it's a piece of the glittering sky

I can fan your dreams with a white bandanna

But you knew all along I would never surrender

Cause I put it in a song

I sang it to you last night didn't I

I keep looking for the white out

You promised me you didn't own

To erase my mistakes before you remember them

That's why I bought this jug of red wine

But I spill it on myself

God damn damn damn I spill it every time

When you get home I cover your eyes

When you get home I cover your eyes

You're going to eat every carrot that you've been served

Every pea and potato every piece of bad luck

And don't forget to finish

Your extra large portion of meaningless task

Well I can eat everything on my plate and ask for seconds

Don't take it away babe just pass the cherry relish

And when I'm done I think I'll have some more

I say Thank you lord

I keep looking for the white out

You promised me you didn't own

To erase my mistakes before you remember them

That's why I bought this jug of red wine

But I spill it on myself

God damn damn damn I spill it every time

When you get home I cover your eyes

When you get home I cover your eyes

Let me help you off with your golden chains

We'll throw them in the river sink down to the bottom

And the fish swimming over

Will think it's a piece of the glittering sky

The glittering sky
