Minnie ever lived her life out loud
With her sunshades on, ever singing a song
Minnie married-to a-middle aged-man
Didn't marry for love, she was happy enough
She said you hoo am I doing it right
I said Minnie you hoo were a shining light
Minnie drives with a bright smile on
Lets her curls hang down, they speak volumes of fun
Honest eyes complied in a lie, she was incomplete, starting to die
She said oh ooh am I doing it right I said
Minnie you hoo, have gotta set things right
And as we drank some wine
And watched the sun go down, in the back room
Minnie said what she had to say
Now husband's gone, he didn't touch her anyway
Single mom re-ignites her spark
Minnie's holding strong, her noose is gone
She said Woo hoo I can feel it again
A new woman she said need not pretend anymore
And like wide eyed teens we set our spirits free
At the window cill against her soft back skin
And I wanted to tell her more, but I never did
And I wanted to give her more, but I never did
And I wanted to love her more.
A five year gap sews fears Minnie scared me off, it was a step too far
I couldn't see what we had been just a
Fling run thing, but I had set the scene
I said I-ii can't commit to this she
Said after tonight we can just be friends
As the Galway sky let the sun pass by (in silence)
We drank our last red wine in the nights moonlight (and said goodbye)
And Minnie's happy now she found love, somehow...
