Where Were You

where were you two years ago when I was locked out

there at the barn

when some certain athens sacred monster was doing me in

the charm

we could've been chatting heart to heart on that front

porch with a view

where were you girl when I needed you

where were you two weeks ago, a week again after your

promise

I was in your place of employment crying in my humus

somebody in there said "boy you're looking bad"

and I said "you know that is nothing new"

where were you girl when I needed you

were you in that second story well lighted place

up against it's occupant artist in his personal space

I know that has been known to happen but I though all

of that was through

where were you girl when I needed you

where were you last monday when I was overwrought

I was watching the bright bug lamp flicker

you were doing up the dim dim 40-watt

I was alone with Pepe Lopez

I just couldn't do the schmooze

where were you girl when I needed you

where are you this sunday morning I'm in shaky health

I am in the back yard leaking on the spot where you

proclaimed yourself

you are hungry wanting breakfast and my heart is in a

stew

where were you girl when I needed you
