The drive from the airport

Sadness and Anger Well up in me Your Heavy Foot Pressing down on my voice… Short, Curt, Clench of the Fist I have lost her Where are you?... I have lost a love You did too! Do you feel? Can you love? Is it riding a wave…. inside you unseen? Do you feel it? Can you see it? Her Stories were relayed… Portuguese Dinners made… Saturday calls.. To a slow meal hum… bagels with creamcheese… And then some… [Chorus] Death has come It follows near Love on mind Wave in ear… Lost a Love Forever and True… Now my thoughts Well up inside… Floating on waves… Unseen you hide… Trying to get Just a little peek… At your stoic heart Hiding within… To the Pool Floaties on… Pink sun screen On my nose… Deep end looming near Jumped in Overcame my fear Darkness at the bottom Ladders on the side Jumped over and over While she reads Grisham and King… Watermelons and Tea Then Back in for me…. [Chorus] Death has come It follows near Love on mind Wave in ear… Lost a Love Forever and True… Now my thoughts Well up inside… Floating on waves… Unseen you hide… Trying to get Just a little peek… At your stoic heart Hiding within… Towel is waving out the back car window… A freedom flag… Declaring victory over the day… She talked of Portuguese Pride And her New Jersey Days… Summer Fading fast… Each year… Never meant to last… Dog days of summer linger Spreading Spanish moss On Magnolia trees… Two lover’s initials’ Carved on the side… Great limbs limbering down Flexing for a hundred years… Circle of dirt all around AbraCaDabra… Round and round.. Crazy eyes… And Dirty paws… She’s left this world She left it… Now It’s just You and Me… Riding on Waves Unseen… Riding on Waves Unseen... [Chorus] Death has come It follows near Love on mind Wave in ear… Lost a Love Forever and True… Now my thoughts Well up inside… Floating on waves… Unseen you hide… Trying to get Just a little peek… At your stoic heart Hiding within…
