Useful Fiction

Quietly the record plays
Memories worth repeating
The preacher told me "Watch and pray"
But I did not believe him

Children playing down the way
What a joyful feeling
To hear the words their elders say
And never know their meaning

I got this scar in '20
And I moved into the country with your mother
In the still of the night
So let your heart relax, baby
It's funny that you asked me
But the wind will take you to the other side

Some are days of plenty
Hear the heavens singing
Other days are empty
The temperature's retreating

Some you lay your head at night
And wonder if she's by your side
You can't help to make it right
But you listen to her breathing

I got this scar in '20
And I moved into the country with your mother
In the still of the night
So let your heart relax, baby
It's funny that you asked me
But the wind will take you to the other side

I got this scar in '20
And I moved into the country with your mother
In the still of the night
So let your heart relax, baby
It's funny that you asked me
But the wind will take you to the other side

Oh you heard it right
If today is all we're given
Then you move along and try your best
To lose your sense of pride

You can learn to read the weather
But you can't control the movement of the tide
