Writers note:
In college, during my English Creative Writing course we were required to read and do a book report on The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams (1944).
For avid readers of classic literature, this is a fantastic novel. Give it a read sometime.
This song came from the plotline of the main character in this novel. Enjoy…

(C)1993 Don Paul Jankas & Chuck Bragg
Laura's plain existence
Live your life of glassy essence
Tom escapes in bottles and has plans of running far away
While Mother dreams of callers
Who never show thier face
And you sit by the window
And stare out into space
-chorus-
Brother Tom and Mother Dear
Want you married and out of here
Your glass unicorns can hide you
When your down
When your down and blue
Laura has a complex and she hides her face in shame
Not that noones noticed but it's driving her insane
Mother said its all right but she won't leave you alone
And Tom goes to the movies just to get away from home
-chorus-
Laura's only brother left she didn't have a clue
He thought it would be best for him he didn't think of you
And the name you had blue roses it is stamped upon your mind
And the only man you ever loved walked back into time
-chorus-
