You Broke It And Returned It

from I Could Have Made a Child by Elly Kellner

/

lyrics

I wrapped it in soft linen
And I placed it on the table
I made sure the table’s sturdy
I made sure it wouldn’t fall

I watched it as you picked it up
Carressed it and held it in your arms
And I closed my eyes a moment to let it sink in

And every so often
I would pick it up to check it
It looked perfect like it did
when I put it there

Then I saw you hold it with a frown
And quickly after you put it down
And we watched as it fell to the floor

You said you didn’t care for it at this time
And you want to return what is rightfully mine
And you broke it before you returned it

You said it doesn’t do it for my anymore
So I don’t know what I would be doing it for
So I broke it and I’m returning it

Said you can have it back
‘Cause it’s broken anyway
