about

aka "My family is dying & I am one of the last, growing up, & river journeys"

lyrics

Isn’t it funny how the house is filled with photos of her younger self?
Well the picture books are scattered
like the years & tears & fears that turn to dust
With a big house full of memories left over for her sons
to pick off all the wall paper & the parts they love the most.
The town today has lost a soul
and maybe a way of life.
But they know the name lives on.

Missed Sunday mass: the funeral
But don’t blame me ‘cause I was in another state
She left behind a letter that told me of my sins
In the temple where my father died
Well it seems I’ll never win.
In a big house full of centuries where her daughter still remains
to go through all the boxes so a history never fades.
She lost her job, her mom & the dog but least she’s got a son
& through them the name lives on.

Where do I go from here?

Here’s one for that Midwestern charm you’d never sell
& one for the smile that lived beside the pain so well
I’ll leave some pennies on your grave so if the storm don’t bring me back
At least I know I’ve paid my dues
