THE MAP IS GETTING SMALLER 121411 - TWENTY FOUR HOURS

James Michael Taylor

The Map Is Getting Smaller

The map is getting smaller
The houses disappear
The streets I used to play in
Have all disappeared
The map is getting smaller
The high ways far and near
The road that went to Gramma’s house
I watched it disappear

The map is getting smaller
Getting smaller every year
At every friend’s funeral
Every eulogy I hear

The map is getting smaller
Getting smaller every day
There used to be a playground
Now, there’s no place to play

The map is getting smaller
Now, there’s no place to go
No one that you care about
No one that you know

“You can’t go down there, sir.”
“Well, I used to live down there.”
“You can’t go down there, sir.”

The house is getting smaller
Getting smaller every day
My room is getting smaller…
