And The Last Thing I'd Recall
Her Body Standing On The Stove
Sandy Wiping Her Grey Eyes
I Was Pleased And Frightened
To See A Grownup Woman Cry
She Blamed Her Housemaid For Her Mind
But I Think That They All Knew It Had To Happen Some Time

I Had Rushed Home From School
To See My Favorite Show
And As It Happened, It Was Deadly Cold That Day
And As I Peeled My Mittens Frozen To My Wrists With Snow
I Swore I Heard A Voice Come From The Living Room
And Say:
"Oh...God
Oh...God
Oh...well..."

And When I Peered Into That Room
My Little Afternoon Took Sick
Sandy Hanging From The Light
Her Levis Wrapped Around Her Neck

It Was A Sight To See
Old Sandy Finally Seeing Me
And Though She Couldn't Speak
I Had A Sinking Feeling That She Would Have Said:
"Oh, Darling....more Mascara"

She Looked So Peaceful In The Air
The Lightbulb Shining In Her Hair
Her Face Was Free
It Frightened Me
She Looked Happy
I Guess She Found The Difference

And I Thought About The Joke
Where The Man Keeps Up His Rotting Wife
She Had Maggots In Her Mouth
I Wonder If What She Thought Right Now

And Then The Car Drove Up
And Then The Car Drove Up
And I Remember Sleeping
And I Remember Sleeping...

And They Wrapped Her Up And Drove Away
And Now I Have This Crazy Fantasy...

What If Sandy Died In Front Of Me?
