Down to Her Socks

Slowly she sank to her knees on the floor

Cursing the freedom she'd won

Fromthe torture she'd vowed not to take anymore

And the victim she'd almost become

For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving

She sure took a long time to go

But he loved her right down to her socks

And no further

And her feet were the last ones to know

Spoken:

Sometimes when you take a good

stiff shot to the heart

It kinda stuns you

So you stand there like some old fighter

taking punishment

You don't even know you're taking

Then one day you look down at your feet

And see those suckers are just walking

You away from it

For a lady who'd learned all there is about living

She sure picked a hard way to go

But he loved her right down to her socks - and no further

And her feet were the last ones to know
