THE OTHER SIDE
The moon was her sun
Never met the light of day
Posted up in her boudoir
Til evening
Porcelain and ink
A circle made of sand
We said the prayer
And then I took her hands
We said what's it like on the other side?
Everyone
Was immediately taken
By her mystery and her melancholy
Charms
Stacking her pills
At the dirty kitchen table
Little armies
Pyramids of baby blue
She said what's it like on the other side
Taking a day
To read up on psychedelia
Skipping class cuz
Boston winters
Last til may
The sweater she wore
Hanging on her like a sculpture
Draping marble
On a cactus flower frame
She said
Learn that Otis Redding song
The one about his love
Wrap me up in all his colors
As the smoke grazes our lungs
I wonder what the angels sing
I bet it's rock and roll
I wanna know
The week you left
You asked me if
We'd go and see some jazz
It'd been a while
And I was so excited for our plans
I was down in Texas on the road
Singing my songs
In the morning I got back
I got the call
That you were gone
I saw your mother staying strong
For everyone in line
I saw your lover and your father
As I wiped my burning eyes
She said
Learn that Otis Redding song
The one about his love
Wrap me up in all his colors
As the smoke grazes our lungs
I never learned her one request
I thought I'd have more time
I'll sing it for you
On the other side
Never met the light of day
Posted up in her boudoir
Til evening
Porcelain and ink
A circle made of sand
We said the prayer
And then I took her hands
We said what's it like on the other side?
Everyone
Was immediately taken
By her mystery and her melancholy
Charms
Stacking her pills
At the dirty kitchen table
Little armies
Pyramids of baby blue
She said what's it like on the other side
Taking a day
To read up on psychedelia
Skipping class cuz

Hanging on her like a sculpture

Wrap me up in all his colors
As the smoke grazes our lungs
I wonder what the angels sing

On the other side
