MATINÉE
sleeping in the back row at the matinée
sleeping in the back row at the matinée
sleeping through a summer's day
up Cadillac Mountain, never coming back
up Cadillac Mountain, never coming back
never coming down from up Cadillac
daddy the rascal
you don't know the half
ran himself out of Houston
Denver before that
through the open door
the candle flame
I too, surely
been born and named
been rain since yesterday
been rain since yesterday
headlights winding up the gravel driveway
I got love like evergreen
I got love like evergreen
they’re getting down tonight on The Riverboat Queen
yellow moon
through branches shining
stop folding clothes
and just stand there crying
red is the clay
and red the sun
you can go on home now
and let me be lonesome
out the side, the door to the alleyway
out the side, the door to the alleyway
no rags, no bones, no bottles today
