Familiar light. Pillow's wet. Much confided and cried and repaid. . Too much room. In this room. All the furniture's taken away. . Found weekend. You will live forever.
Can you see this hotel from your cell?. Can you sleep and do they feed you well?. It's been months since I've had any word.. On the only tape of you I have your speech is slurred..
Vials of bright forgetting powders. Reds and yellows, sweets and sours,. Curled around a scented pillow. Biting hard and crushing flowers. . I went down to sugartown.
A whispered curse under his breath. A whispered prayer over a death. A sunrise blotted out by cloud. A mother sleeping by the shroud. . A poison word that's never said..
We took a picture together. We held the camera in front of us. Your arm was cutting right into the frame. Your smile was for both of us. . Something about the way we looked that day.
Am I doing this right? you oughta know.. Should I put up a fight? you oughta know.. . When you came in did they pass out your gold car?. Give you map and show you where you are?.
The photographer's impatient as the train pulls out of the station,. And you're heading further south than I thought you'd ever go.. The streets are filling up with snow,.
All I know is that I'm true. To every single one of you. The best that I know how to do. I'm lost. I'm lost. . Cranky is friend of mine. She puts away a glass of wine.
All the sad boys come home with you. Drape you in garlands and sing their sad songs to you. Pour all their stories like rain through you. All the sad boys come home with you..
I started losing you. About the time you told me everybody knew. I fell under the strain. And through the rear-view mirror watched you. Circle 'round the drain.
