about

I knew everything, and said everything I knew, about divorce back around the turn of the century. Then, recently, some good friends were discovering the joys of dissolution and I was feeling their pain, but felt I'd written myself out on the subject years ago. Then I realized it is all just a variation on a theme....

lyrics

What you had you don’t have no more
What you don’t have, man, you don’t need
What you don’t need went out that door
It’s a variation on a theme

Help me help me someone said
There’s someone’s hand on someone’s knee
Sun came up in someone’s bed
It’s a variation on the theme

Kept you warm and kept you fed
Decorated all your trees
Sun went down in someone’s bed
It’s a variation on a theme

A child, children, one or two
Took their shape and skinned their knees
Work and sleep was all you knew
Variations on a theme… BUT THEN…

The opposite of light broke through
The cracks that you had never seen
Thought you’d fix it didn’t you
Dark variations on a theme ...

Variations variations….

Variations on a theme
It’s the same old married thing we’ve all seen
Trouble comes into the house
Someone’s staying, someone’s getting out

What you had, girl you don’t need
It’s a variation on a theme
The opposite of light broke through
Thought you’d fix it, didn’t you?
