Invisible |
| Back then |
| The men would look and smile at me |
| Like boys applying for a summer job |
| But no, I never would respond |
| The vacancy was taken |
| Back home |
| My love would whisper in my ear |
| Those words, a shelter for a troubled soul |
| That voice, like sunshine when you’re cold |
| Like water when you’re thirsty |
| And then one morning he was gone |
| A day went by and he was gone |
| A month went by and I would |
| Stand by the window |
| Holding the baby |
| Shaking with fear |
| Then one day I heard it |
| As real as the sun |
| That voice in my ear |
| That’s when I realized it |
| He was invisible |
| Like a magic trick |
| Like a miracle |
| I don’t know how he did it |
| He was gone but he still was there |
| But totally invisible |
| But don’t get me wrong |
| He was tangible |
| But invisible |
| Like gravity |
| Or the air |
| They said I had to take a little rest |
| Someplace where they could keep an eye on me |
| Despite the bars across the window |
| My room was pretty sunny |
| Those days were mumbles in a sleeping ear |
| The hallways always smelled like chicken soup |
| Most of the doctors were polite |
| The nuns were nice and… nunny |
| You eat your lunch, a year is gone |
| You go to bed, ten years are gone |
| Then you wake up and wonder |
| Where is it hiding? |
| Where did it go? |
| I don’t understand |
| The life I had wanted |
| The life I was promised |
| The life I had planned? |
| Then I realized it |
| It was invisible |
| That entire life |
| Was invisible |
| Because somebody |
| Misplaced it |
| So it had to be somewhere |
| Just out of reach |
| Just out of sight |
| There’s a couple dancing in candlelight |
| No gravity, we’re spinning in the air |
| Now things are pretty much the same as how they |
| Used to be |
| The young men still are smiling |
| They just never smile at me |
| At first I thought they might be blind |
| Like love or gravity |
| But then I realized |
| I picked it up |
| I’ve got the gift |
| I feel like supergirl |
| I’ve become invisible |
| I’m a magic trick |
| Isn’t it wonderful? |
| Like a character in a comic book |
| I can see what you’re thinking |
| But I don’t care |
| So if you’re on an empty street |
| And you hear the tapping of high-heeled feet |
| Or you hear a heart like a phantom beat |
| Or the screams of a woman left incomplete |
| Well, don’t fear what you can’t see |
| The odds are good that it’s only me |
| I’m invisible |
| I’ve vanished |
| In… |
| Thin… |
| Tada |
