Alpha Omega

On the morning you went away

The air was humid and the sky was gray

I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia

The air was wet, my face was wetter

The pink flowers along the western window made me feel

better

I turned the air conditioner on

Found the note on scented stationary - you were long gone

I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia

I popped the top off of the aluminum can

Let the brine slide down my fingers, man

It was warm, it was warm on my skin

But i felt the cold blast looming on in

I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia
