gifts and flowers lay upon the lid of pink silk above 
your face tears make a river of diamonds in the dark our 
daddy breaks down at the funeral home flies and relations 
make an annoying sound we sit or wander 'round the room 
ribbons are folded on the rose bouquets i hear a voice 
that sounds so much like yours please, please come back 
to me i cry and talk to you through the bathroom wall oh 
please, come back tp me playing in cleveland on a 
wednesday night recovering from the night before i'm 
broken and crying in the ladies room the opening band is 
banging out their song i built a shrine on the kitchen 
wall with flowers and florida souveniers you were walking 
through the house last night i knew it was you from the 
space in your steps
