lyrics

Elsie, always talking,
Made of family, soup and lemonade,
You’d take the 25 to town on Fridays.

In doctor’s hands, we wait,
And break
The plans we made for Saturday,
That cease to be important any more.

“I’m ready”, lead and gold.
Lead and gold.

Holding a get well soon balloon,
You left the aching room
To meet the midnight moon.
He had a song to sing to you.

John, forever walking,
Talked of cancer like a common cold.
You’d feed the fish until your legs betrayed you.

The paperwork came right away,
The dead can rest,
Life doesn’t wait,
It’s been a month,
Your frequency is fading.

“Okay Jamie, see you soon.”
See you soon.

Carried by the drugs
You met with Vera in the woods,
Under the midday sun,
She asked you where you’d been.

Elsie and John,
Midnight moon / midday sun,
Met just once.
There are lines connecting everyone.
