A# D#
She had one at home asleep and one in her belly
A# D#
It would roll around now and then, ever so gently
Gm D#
She was breaking down like iron covered with rust
F D#
And she was covered by, Benito's dust
A# D#
And days went by so slowly in that neighborhood
A# D#
In the silent house full of things he paid for with his own sweat and blood
Gm D#
And framer's wages never bought her much
F D#
But he made up the difference with Benito's touch
A# D#
On Friday night's, she'd still visit the boys down at the bars
A# D#
And how quickly they'd forgotten that her husband was a friend of theirs
Gm D#
Some nights she'd go home with a young man, yea, she'd try her luck.. but she never could
F D#
'Cause the night time and the starlight only served to remind her of Benito's love
A# D#
She still remembered his voice on the receiver that night
A# D#
There was something different, some kind of flicker, that just didn't sound right
Gm D#
But he was the one man that she could trust
F D#
Now she's got his two boys, and the whisper of his voice, like Benito's hush
A# D#
No there's no more flowers, no more cards, just empty space
A# D#
Hungry mouths, dirty house, and bills to pay
Gm D#
She's up in the attic going through a box of his pictures and stuff
F D#
She's coughing, and choking and crying on Benito's dust
