Back When Ted Loved Sylvia - Nanci Griffith[00:00:00]

They both wrote poetry[00:00:10]

In fact that was how they met[00:00:13]

He was a Yorkshire man in Cambridge[00:00:18]

She was from Massachusetts[00:00:25]

They spoke and they fell in love[00:00:28]

They kissed and picked daffodils[00:00:34]

She came across the ocean[00:00:39]

Just to bid her heart goodbye[00:00:45]

The hawk next to his goddess[00:00:50]

They were glorious to see[00:00:56]

Back when Ted loved Sylvia[00:01:00]

Close friends disapproved[00:01:07]

Said they ought to wait[00:01:16]

They did not care with all that said[00:01:21]

And married nonetheless[00:01:28]

They traveled and they taught[00:01:32]

A life of academia[00:01:37]

Typewriters and cocktails[00:01:42]

Angry verses and sad pleas[00:01:48]

Dutiful wife and mother[00:01:53]

The poet behind her man[00:01:58]

Back when Ted loved Sylvia[00:02:03]

The tempests that were howling[00:02:09]

And tearing them apart[00:02:19]

Were forces that had been in place[00:02:24]

To wreck them from the start[00:02:30]

So she stayed home with the kids[00:02:34]

Collecting poems in a jar[00:02:49]

He had his lectures and soon a mistress[00:02:54]

And left her all alone[00:03:02]

Why did she end it all [00:03:05]

Was he just to blame [00:03:10]

There only two that know for sure[00:03:16]

And neither one remain[00:03:22]

I don't need an answer[00:03:26]

I prefer to read between the lines[00:03:31]

Back when Ted loved Sylvia[00:03:36]

Back when Ted loved Sylvia[00:03:43]
