Linda

Linda
you lost your man and now you're feeling sad
going through his clothes, throwing out the bad
looking at pictures all those fond memories kept near
hanging on your bedroom wall but he's no longer here
Linda
friends spend all their waking hours on the phone
and taking you to dinner so you don't have to be alone
you've reassured your sister you've made new plans
cried with your daughter so that she understands
Linda

you're a very strong woman walking on the widow's wall

you've kept your head high, not afraid to fall

saving the pieces of a life with your late best friend

but cooking new ideas so it doesn't have to end

Linda

you've looked around and grabbed that bull by his horns

there can be no meaning for the woman who sits around and mourns

you're not re-inventing while spinning on the floor

but dancing with good memories and demanding from them more
