maybe far away or maybe real nearby
he maybe pouring her coffee
she maybe straightenin´ his tie
maybe in a house or hidden by a hill
she´s sittin´ playin´ piano
he´s sittin´ payin´ the bills

betcha they´re young
betcha they´re smart
bet they´re collecting like ashtrays and art
betcha they´re good why shouldn´t they be
their one mistake was givin´ up me

so maybe now its time
and maybe when i´m wake
they´ll be there calling me baby, maybe

betcha he reads
betcha she sews
maybe she´s made me a closet of clothes
maybe they´re straight as straight as a line
don´t really care as long as they´re mine

so maybe now this prayer
the last one of its kind
won´t you please and get your baby
maybe...
