Right Away Great Captain! Memories On A Deck Part Ii
I can see a white blouse hanging on window cill; a naked
body on the bed.
I can see a candle burning, wax dripping, bible burning
woman that I once called friend.
Don't you bleed out an apology; you'll always be a liar
to me.
I can see a black faced woman with a baby saying, "Maybe
you should stay down here."
I can see a shit faced brother that I covered for, what
must have been, the last 10 years.
I could tell she wasn't lying; you were lying with a lion
up there.
I could tell you that I saw you but I couldn't make it up
the stairs.
I can see a heart sized hole inside the ocean where I'm
pondering a mid-night swim.
I can see a heart sized hole inside the bottle where I'm
pondering a mid night swim.
I could tell you I was dying but you wouldn't know for 3
more years.
I could tell you I was dying but you wouldn't know for 3
more years.
