Can You Understand My Joy?

Trouble comes fast

And leaves too slow

That's how I knew

That she would finally go

It's all dragged on now

Far too long

The rooms were too small

And words too strong, so

Chorus:

Can you understand my joy?

Can you understand my joy?

I feel like a little boy

Can you understand my joy?

I count my blessings

Slow and sure

My memory's not as good

As it was before

They cut off the lights

And the phone calls too

The landlord is knocking

And he might break through

Chorus

Bridge:

I got a plastic leg

In the last short war

You know I would still fight

But they don't want me no more

So I'm all set

With a month of pills

Just one more shot

And there's no more chills, so

Chorus
