Marjorie said, “When he’d come home, and I’d see him… When he first gets off that train, it was like God almighty arrived. It was like seeing daylight”.
“I mean, I could’ve packed up and left a million times, you know? It’s not that we never fought, you can overcome that, you know? It's very easy”.
She finishes the song by adding some advice: “And as I told her. Never go to bed without kissin’ goodnight.That’s the worst thing to do, don’t ever, ever do that. And if you can’t, and if you don’t feel comfortable doing it. You’re in the wrong place, get out”.
