Lyrics
How Many Days Will You Be Gone?
Verse One
How many days will you be gone this time? I'll pay the rent and save your beer. But when I see an empty bed and bank account this is what I say, loneliness and poverty don't pay.
Verse Two
How many days will you be gone this time? Don't lie and tell and me that you care. But when I think about the lipstick on your shirt this is what I shout wedding bells and promises don't count.
Bridge
So many years I tried acting like a silly bride I loved you. I've been a desperate fool but it wasn't worth the price I paid.
Verse Three
How many days will you be gone this time? The TV is my company. But when I think about those lonely wasted years I go a bit insane so I drink a dollar wine to hide the pain.
Bridge
So many years I tried acting like a silly bride I loved you. I've been a desperate fool but it wasn't worth the price I paid.
Instrumental
Verse Four
How many days will you be gone this time? Don't think I'm always going to wait. Next time you whisper on a phone at 3 am here is what I'll do pack my bags and get away from you. Get away from you. Get away from you.
