Tom Cat Goodby Lyrics

Quite the powerful and impressive song.

It is about the singer's husband ("I got your name, Tom, I got your children") cheating on her ("he cheats like a tom cat - He lies"). The music, and lyrics, changes tempo and feeling rather often - she seems to be contemplating her situation.
