On the road
Verena clenched the steering wheel and the years she'd spent
waiting for a compliment
wasting time with argument
"No more! No more!"
Verena flashed back to the general store
"No more! No more!"
Verena was Verena again
Back at the store
Bill Henry sat down
planning a trip to the nearest town
Millerville was the closest around
his face lit up---he liked that sound!
"No more! No more!"
Verena flashed back to the general store
"No more! No more!"
Verena was Verena again
"He thinks I am something special
he thinks I am superficial
i need someone to calm me down
i think he will try to find you
i can play peek-a-boo too
i need someone to calm me down."
Bill saw the sign for Millerville
his heart got big with adreneline thrill
sweat broke out on his tiny hands
like a pilgrim in the Promised Land
"No more! No more!"
Verena flashed back to the general store
"No more! No more!"
Verena was Verena again
