Seveny Eight

Sit silent at the bar, and see the morning rise, think of highways burning tar, sunshine's just for fools, home's a hard disguise, who needs to hear this news, you can keep the stars, or want to see his eyes, before he left my Ma, the money tooled, in jaded nights, playing American pool, I can see my Da, everything's revealed in time, empty hearts don't travel far, but you're no fool, forget the hurt inside, that's another part of you, love holds the door ajar, maybe just a little wine, don't look my way ta, I won't waste your time. l
