Sad & Cautionary

yesterday i found a letter
that you had sent sometime before
i left your town
crying
was it just sentence
you got out with good behavior and time spent
it was never love
was it?
is that a story you tell?
do your lovers know it well?
is it a call to arms or
is it a warning?
is it a joke with a punchline
of what can happen at night
when the smoke gets in your eyes
was it the wine or the whiskey?
i heard you settled for someone
are you glad it’s not me?
did you make up your mind real quick?
was it easy?
do you call it a night
when he turns off the light
or are you watching the sunrise
lying in his arms, smiling?
is that a story you tell?
do your daughters know it well?
a tale at once so sad and
cautionary
is it a prince and a princess?
or is it more or less a car crash
that left just one witness,
crying?

she took all the dreams she ever had in her life
she put them in a letter to you
you couldn’t understand when she spoke of heaven
and the untold delights of deluth
face it man, there was nothing out there for you
she could paint it in oils
she could write it in words
you wouldn’t understand if you wanted to
you can leave early
take some time off
if anyone needs it you do
i was young once
there was a time i needed it too.
take all the drinks you ever had in your life
and all the ones that you wanted to
if you could remember ever one of those nights
and what it is you said you would do
face it boy, there was nothing in there for you
you can paint it in oils
you can write it in words
tear it apart if you want to
you should give it a rest
take some time off
if anybody needs it, it’s you
yeah i’ve been drinking
i’ve needed too
take everything you’ve ever had in your life,
all the things your father put aside for you
your mama’s good looks
the shit your grandfather took
the guns, the silver, the gold, and the jewels
yeah i was young once
it takes time to know
there is nothing in there for you
sorry son, she ain’t coming back to you
sorry son, she ain’t coming back to you

i need a little time, he said,
it takes a little time.
there’s nothing wrong, she said,
everything’s alright.
you can’t expect it all to happen overnight
give me some time, he said,
give me another try.
sometimes i need to have a little cry
leave me alone, she said,
give me a little time.
sometimes we all need to call it a night
everybody makes mistakes, almost every time
i need a little time, he said,
it takes a little time
there’s nothing wrong, she said,
everything’s fine
everybody wants to have another try
everybody makes mistakes, almost every time
everybody makes mistakes, almost every time

take what you have & bury it somewhere deep
all that you love & all you want to keep
all of your letters & pictures, every last one
all of your diamonds & all of your guns
all of your songs, all of your stories,
all of your sins, all of your memories
they’ll light it up with an ugly flame
no matter what it is, it burns the same
they’re making money, they’re making history
with all your regrets, all of your misery
what’s left to sell? what’s left to throw away?
what’s left to do? man, what’s left to say?
take what you have & bury it somewhere deep
all that you love & all you want to keep.

may your home be safe
may your work be paid
may your water be clean
may you have food to eat
may your boat be strong
may the sea be calm
may your journey be done
may your bed be warm
