That's some DEPRESSING reading! Whoever wrote that has:

A. To much time on their hands.
B. Has WAY to much time on their hands.
C. Probably wrote the song below.
D. Has DEEP insight!



"THAT'S THE WAY I'VE ALWAYS HEARD IT SHOULD BE," Carly Simon, 1977
My father sits at night with no lights on
His cigarette glows in the dark
The living room is still
I walk by, no remark ...
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where my mother reads her magazine
I hear her call 'sweet dreams'
But I forget how to dream
Well, you say it's time we move in together
And raise a family of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me
We'll marry
My friends from college are all married now
They have their houses and their lawns
They have their silent noons, tearful nights, angry dawns
Their children hate them for the things they're not
They hate themselves for what they are
And yet they drink, they laugh
Close the wound, hide the scar
Well, you say it's time we move in together
And raise a family of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me
We'll marry
You say that we can keep our love alive
Babe, all I know is what I see
The lovers cling and claw and drown in love's debris
You say we'll soar like two birds through the sky
But then you'll cage me on your shelf
I'll never learn to be just me first, by myself... Well, okay, it's time we move in together
And raise a family of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me
We'll marry
