Steal Away

Yielding to the pull of an indiscretion

Come see me
He says
I can’t
I tell him

Yes you can
After work
Having a drink with the girls
Make an excuse
and
Come see me

I can’t
Yes you can
Tell him you
Have a doctor's appointment
Need to pick up a prescription
Need some hose
Make an excuse
Come see me

I can’t
Yes you can
Tell him
It’s time for an oil change
Get the car inspected
Pick up groceries
Drop the kids off at grandma’s
Make an excuse
Come see me

I can’t
Yes you can
Just go home and
Prepare his dinner
Do the dishes
Fold yesterday’s laundry
Tuck the kids in bed
Tell him you’ve got to run an errand
Make an excuse
Come see me

I can’t
Yes you can
You can work late
Meet me for a drink
Steal away for an hour or two
Then go home
No one will ever know…
Make an excuse
Come see me

So tomorrow I will be
Having a drink with the girls
Seeing a doctor
Picking up a prescription
Needing some hose
Changing the oil
Getting the car inspected
Grabbing some groceries
Dropping the kids at Mom’s
Working late tonight
Stealing away…
