Come Back to Me

gifts and flowers lay upon the lid of pink silk above

your face tears make a river of diamonds in the dark our

daddy breaks down at the funeral home flies and relations

make an annoying sound we sit or wander 'round the room

ribbons are folded on the rose bouquets i hear a voice

that sounds so much like yours please, please come back

to me i cry and talk to you through the bathroom wall oh

please, come back tp me playing in cleveland on a

wednesday night recovering from the night before i'm

broken and crying in the ladies room the opening band is

banging out their song i built a shrine on the kitchen

wall with flowers and florida souveniers you were walking

through the house last night i knew it was you from the

space in your steps
