lyrics

I stood right here
on this old street
a million years ago.

Hours passing by,
just killing time
‘til streetlights start to glow.

His elder man’s pipe
stained the walls—
his blackened fingertips

switched through the channels,
browsed the pages,
and kept that cherry lit.

The room inside
was our domain.
Old lady made the beds.

Now here he sits
not quite alive,
but also not quite dead.

———

The two of us
pose in a picture
hanging by the stairs.

Standing by that
old oak tree
now cut down for many years.

He’s unimpressed
though years have passed
since last he saw my face.

I’m taken back to see
him like this,
and back in this old place.

I try to get him talking,
but it’s clear
he won’t oblige.

I tell him I’ll come
back around
before I say goodbye.

———

I can’t just leave
and so I turn back,
then he lets it go.

His sorry luck
has led him here...
he’s never been so low.

By now he figured
he’d be gone
with everything he’s done.

Instead the tubes
and chair before me
ruined all his fun.

The days are years
and night’s a scoundrel,
passing by so fast.

The darkness is
the only thing that
ever seems to last.
