Jen Foster Nobody Talks About Tuesday
There we go to hide the screams
Well we all just turn up our tvs and
Pretend that nothing’s wrong
Its just another Monday night
And all the neighbors hear them fight
How could we know tomorrow she’ll be gone
And all the lights go down
And all her light went out
There she was just last week
In the schoolyard where children meet
She had sunglasses on in the pouring rain
And there I was I smiled and waved
And I took note as she turned away
I guess the clouds eclipsed my sense of shame
And all the rain came down
And all her tears came down
Nobody talks about Tuesday
Nobody wants to take the blame
Nobody talks about Tuesday
Its just too hard to speak her name
Nobody talks about Tuesday
There they came at 6 AM
With red & blue lights
And loud sirens
It was easy
‘cause he’d never hit a man
Was it me or was it fate
Who made the call that came too late
They didn’t even need an ambulance
And all the blinds went down
And all our eyes looked down
Nobody talks about Tuesday
Nobody wants to take the blame
Nobody talks about Tuesday
Its just too hard to hear her name
Nobody talks about Tuesday
And all the lights went down
And all her light went out
Nobody, Nobody
Nobody talks about Tuesday
They took that little boy away…
