A Party

She has been married for ten years
Everyday is yesterday
When her husband returns from work
He's not there
Sometimes in the night he is there
Sometimes in the night
She cries

Saturday
A neighbour baby-sits
She's excited
A party aboard a boat
They arrive
Still excited
She drinks wine and vodka
And more wine
The boat is on dry land
But she is at sea inside

She dances with a man
Still excited
Knowing that soon
It will be yesterday
The man pulls her close
Telling her she is beautiful
And she feels beautiful
And kisses the man
Her husband cannot see

She drinks more wine and vodka
The boat is on dry land
But she is at sea inside
On the way home she'll be sick
Then sleep until yesterday
Until the next party
