Wendy

Wendy grew up and she played with all of those older boys The sixties come and they all run to be soldier boys I remember the day they all died She got the letter and she broke down and cried She said: life's so unfair for those who aren't there Why must they set the example Wendy fooled around with all the boys in her college class She walked in space, she ran the race, she always came in last She left me then and she took what all was mine Now she walks the streets-she ain't even got a dime And she says: life's so unfair for those who are there Why must I set the example She fell in love and she married a man and they had a boy Working late nights, can't stand all the fights, see you later Roy She packed her things and she took her young son Their life seemed over but it really had just begun She said: life's so unfair when he's not there to care Why must he set the example She grew old and she hadn't a friend to give a care When she died nobody cried, no one was even there She said to God, Lord, where have I gone wrong? He said Wendy, nowhere, you see your life's just begun He said life seems unfair when you're down there Why must we set the example
