Transparent

is what ya are

Clearly crystal
not even through a glass darkly
but right out in tha open

Wish'n she
was out'a ya way

As if it'd make
one bit'a difference

As if ya
could ever compete
with even her memory

Truth of tha matter?

She'd gladly step aside
desir'n his contentment
despite ya bitter heart

If'n that's what it took
ta Love and be Loved
in this world
