Song 9 of the 52 Week Song Club

lyrics

Will our memories
chase each other
in a perfect game
of cat and mouse?
I will follow you
up that ladder
to look at the stars above
on the roof of the house.

Something went wrong.
All the pictures are gone.
And, the grandfather clock
don't chime
not once
not twice.

Some broken crackers
spread out on the lawn
brings the robins by dozens
flying around singing
their pretty songs.
And, this home broken trailer
that I call my house
filled beer-can-ashtrays
and my dead lover's
one only blouse.

Oh, but something went wrong.
All the pictures are gone.
And, the grandfather clock
won't chime
not once
not twice.

Under my front porch
I found two snakes,
those venomous lovers
wrapped around each other
in a figure eight.
It happened at sunset.
They were both gone by dawn,
making a trail in the sand
that took me way far beyond.

Still, something went wrong.
All the pictures are gone.
And, the grandfather clock
can't chime
not once
not twice.
