It’s been a while, Lucinda
did you ever get that pink out
of your clothes?
yeah, I don’t care that you ruined the wash, but
it’s time to wash yourself too, I think
31 years ago, it feels like
but I know it’s only been one
I was at the town square today
I washed my sins in the water
you can claim carelessness or
maybe a hint of forgetfulness, but
I think I know when you’re pretending
I think I know you know all about me
with the change of seasons you came
and on the couch you don’t look me
in the eye, yours they wander
all around the room and occasionally
they get a glance of my face, it’s changed
I know I look different Lucinda
but keep singing to me
I need your company, now
I don’t know what you said to the sheriff
I don’t know where you slept last night, and
I’m sure you were comfortable
even though everything’s not right
the city dream you led on
and that scarf you donned
you made a scene and you let on
now I know the thoughts you dwell on, but
I miss your hurried touch
like someone could walk in
we weren’t doin’ nothin’ bad but
you clocked out right after you clocked in
and I know your scared of us
I know your scared of us
but I’m not really here
I know those sounds you hear
tell otherwise
but I’m not really here
your mission is clear, just
live, live, live on
like you were
just
live, live, live on
Lucinda, just
live on
like you did
like we did when we were little kids
just live on
like you did.
