It’s Not a Sad Thing Faye Webster

[Verse 1]
Well I wonder what he's doing and if he's falling asleep
I wonder if the flight attendant's prettier than me
I know he's coming back, but I still didn't want him to leave

[Chorus]
But it's not a sad thing
It's not a sad thing
It's not a sad thing at all

[Verse 2]
My dear grandmother watches birds every day
I can picture her at the window calling out their names
She's got no one else to talk to and I guess that keeps her sane

[Chorus]
But it's not a sad thing
It's not a sad thing
It's not a sad thing at all

[Verse 3]
An overheard conversation from the table to my left
Explaining his tattoos and the ones he hasn't gotten yet
Some of them with meaning, but most of them with regret

[Chorus]
But it's not a sad thing
It's not a sad thing
It's not a sad thing at all
