Anthony - Margaret Glaspy

Anthony never brought me anything

No diamond wedding ring

Oh why did I lay by his side?

Nights like this

Without a kiss

I’d watch him paint on

His canvas

Oh but Anthony

Never chose me

With a man

Writing his mother in long hand

Leaving the paint pots on the night stand

Leaving the rainbow in my hair

Oh but nights like this

Without a kiss

I’d watch him stare at

A blank canvas

Oh but Anthony

He never saw me

In the darkest weather

I pressed both hands together

Asking God, when and where

I will leave this man

And I will go there

Oh but Anthony never brought me anything

No diamond wedding ring

Oh why did I lay by his side?

Nights like this

Without a kiss

I’d watch him paint on

His canvas

Oh but Anthony

He never loved me
