Phases and Stages (Theme) (alternate version) / Washing the Dishes Songtext
von Willie Nelson

Phases and stages circles and cycles and scenes that we′ve all seen before
Let me tell you some more


Washing the dishes scrubbing the floors
Caring for someone who don't care anymore
Learning to hate all the things that she once loved to do

Like washing his shirts and never complaining except of red stains on the collars
Ironing and crying crying and ironing caring for someone who don′t care anymore
Someday she'll just walk away

Phases and stages circles and cycles and scenes that we've all seen before
Let me tell you some more
