Two of the Usual

(Fred Carter)



We had just set our wedding day and I took you home

And went to a quiet place to celebrate alone

Then I heard your laughter and turned in time to see

You enter with someone a stranger to me.



Two of the usual I heard him say

Two of the usual in a two familiar ways

The truth has no mercy or kindness it seems

For two of the usual just shattered my dreams.



My body was trembling down to my fingertips

With your goodnight kisses still warm on my lips

I sat there in darkness alone and afraid

And my world turned to pieces at the order he gave.



Two of the usual I heard him say

Two of the usual in a two familiar ways

The truth has no mercy or kindness it seems

For two of the usual just shattered my dreams...
