Eastwick - Julia Jacklin

It might make for good TV

The grieving process for all to see

But I don’t want my fathers ashes

Scattered over strangers couches

And it might make for a fun night in if I

Wore a dress and slept with him

But I really hate showing my legs

Even when the Sydney summer begs me

Come on now your roots are showing

Unlike hands your hair keeps growing

Oh now love you could keep on dyeing

I think the truth is more age defying

And in the day when it gets dark

We were just two shelves apart

When we realised, it’s not right

You are not in a garden, you are in a store

A single stemmed rose reaching out for more

Did it come as a great shock

When your third love said hey you’re not

Gonna get his heart to beat by

Laying offerings at his feet

And in the day when it turned dark

We were two cages apart

When we realised, it’s not right

You are not in the wild, you are in a pen

A forgotten sow wondering when you can run
