It began with a kiss from her
sister Beatrice
He had driven her home at Genevieve's
own insistence
But pent-up tensions, common complaints
The lilt of her laugh to the radio's strains
Crescendoed on to passions' confluence
And the inevitable consequence
He had sworn to himself, on the skies and
on the seas
But the promise he made was no less
mutable than these
He couldn't quit it for goodness' sake
Couldn't break free of the insatiable ache
Still, it's a reason if it's no excuse
We choose only what we cannot refuse
Gen kept the porch-light dimly lit
Met him, winsome at the door
And quieted her questions
She had little indiscretions
of her very own
But Beatrice broke, packed her bags,
resolved to leave
Penned a penitent note for her sister Genevieve
He stood licking his wounds under the courthouse colonnade
Wishing Beatrice well; wishing Genevieve
had stayed
He stood licking his wounds under the courthouse colonnade
Wishing Beatrice well; wishing Genevieve
had stayed
