Grandpa wore a red bandana
Said the dust would wash away
Rock dust settled in the kitchen
Supper bought on miner’s pay
Daddy swore the mountain’s mercy
Was a blessing, not a debt

Shirts,pants, ties and coats
wreckage from a life worn out long ago
cardboard box, goodwill on the side
with things I haven’t worn since 1995
Dropped from a jacket pocket
landed on old scuffed up shoes

used to know your breathing
in the dark beside me
now the nights repeating
all my faults and broken dreams
Chorus
oh-oh-oh-oh
I’m not sure how to begin
oh-oh-oh-oh
when I can’t take and I can’t give
oh-oh-oh-oh

You say "We look happy here"
Pointing at a picture frame
My arm around your shoulder
all this happiness, never any pain
Your mom pinned it on the fridge
Called it "perfect finally"
But no one saw you later

I walked in and you were wearing that red dress
Said you bought it from a second-hand store
someone said it didn’t fit, it wasn’t right
someone didn’t want it anymore

A night hawk sings. A church bell rings. Echoes flood the night.
A stillness tides past the languids of the park. Then you shuffle by.
Beneath your mack, though there is no rain, your eyes catch mine for a while.

When you're younger,
you're everything or so it seems
Then you start becoming a ghost in the years between
People say things about you like
"He was always so nice"
"Such a good guy" , "Such a shame"

Play it loud where you can dance!
Boom Boom Girl (c) Nick Torres 9/25/25
She struts in with a kick
A snap

I know you couldn't change my mind
But all that glitters, all that shines
Never felt like it was mine

No one left to hear my prayer
Talking to the kitchen window…
