The party is over
Start sweeping the floors
Of the bottles and butts
Refuse and stuff
I don't need anymore
I traded the boozin'
And the headache it brings
For the smile of a child
That tamed my wild
And stitched my heart up with string
The baby is cryin
The house is a mess
I've lost the top button
On my favorite dress
Clem plays the piano
She's not too good yet
It's a good life, nonetheless
Bittersweet is the way
I remember it most
Swing and sway
Records play
But I dance with a ghost
The baby is cryin'
The house is a mess
I've lost the top button
Onmy favorite dress
Clem plays the piano
She's not too good yet
It's a good life, nonetheless
Crickets sing
Cicadas wail
Meteors fall
Ships they sail
And love never fails
The baby is cryin'
The house is a mess
I've lost the top button
On my favorite dress
Clem plays the piano
She's not too good yet
It's a good life, nonetheless
