Get out your rose colored glasses
Put on your long red dress
Don’t worry about the grey swirling clouds
Passing under your feet, through your legs
Honey those glasses make everything alright
As if Snow White and Cinderella both came
Visiting and stayed to tea and crumpets
Just take my word and put them on
Hold your arms out straight as long as you can
Let them fall back against your waist
Bow your head forward without lifting them
Tell me how the clouds make you feel
Look up again at the sky, even straight
Into the Sun, listen for the birds, the cars,
The planes passing overhead and carrying
So many people who never pay you mind
No, Sweetie, you can’t sit just yet
You have no sons to care for you, no savings
To tide you until your day has come
Just put those glasses on and turn around
Your work is here in front of you and
It will never go away no matter how old,
How tired you get, if your beauty stays
All well and good, goes better with those glasses
When I was a child I had a magic decryptor ring
That gave me secret messages from the comics
But now I can’t find that ring to give you
Can your rose colored glasses save you?
There’s a man to your right, a woman to your left
Look at their children coming to visit
Inviting them home to stay, to rest
But your glasses cannot decrypt that puzzle
