Tonight, I am alone
In this big, quiet, lonely old house.
Only I can hear the owl hoot,
Only I can see the clouded moon.
Mother cannot tell me to sit straight,
Father can't say, "Liz, be home for eight".
Sister won't get anxious now if I
Think of death and feel I want to cry.
Grandma can't say art will make me poor,
If I sing loud, Grandpa won't slam the door.
Crochet with no "guidance" from my aunt,
Dance because no one can say I can't.
My uncle can't tease me about my hair,
They give their two cents but now I don't care.
My family went to the ball tonight,
I stayed home, and I'm free 'till Midnight.
Tonight, I am alone.
In this big, quiet, comfy old house.
