Grand Army

Incidentally I caught her coming home from the party
On a buzz and dressed to kill a king
As it happened the corner bar was labeled Grand Army
Bit my lip until they dropped the drinks
They dropped the drinks

Have I mentioned that night she was criminally stunning?
Off the shoulder sleeves and eyes aflood
Ordinarily I'd loosen things up with something funny
But you know how you can tell your time is up

I got a question for you
You’d acknowledge it right?
That you have been conspicuously
Absent from my life

Is it I crossed some kinda line?
Said a thing you don't want to hear
Please tell me, how are you so far away
And, yet, so near
