lyrics

Dear Gomer

The bank sign flashed fifty degrees
But your skin reads thirty
And little clouds congregate ‘round your mouth
As if to agree
You’ve found a sure-fire formula
For waking up feeling dirty
But your peach-bruised knees
Are just another night’s housing fee

You asserted when you flew from our nest
You were born a free sprint
But when you pluck at your feathers
You remind me of a dove in a cage
You hang sweet perfume in your Magdalene hair
Like a dangled carrot
You get applause for your tricks
But you know that all the magic’s staged

I was your first love
And you my stunning bride
But you colored crimson what was white

I remember when the story of our wedding hit publications
We made a clipping of the column
And we framed it like a real Monet
If you still had an address
I’d mail you our old invitations
Just scratch out the date, babe
And fill it back in with today’s
