lyrics

There's a small old woman
Who wears a powder blue sweater
And prays to the birds on her porch
That her son might visit soon
But his picture is on the mantle
And his obituary is tucked in a shoebox
Collecting dust in her closet
She flirts with the diabetic man
whose cat takes the same medication
We sometimes feed it
For five dollars
While he goes on vacation
To places hes been but forgotten
He used to play chess with
The smelly onion lady
Who lets kids walk her dog
As a last ditch wish for a little more youth
Her ex husband plays poker on Wednesdays
With the other old boys
Puffing cigars on the front lawn
And dealing clubs with calloused hands
Drowning out domesticity
With rusted flasks
And no one talks to the veteran
Who looks like his pit bull
They carry weight on angry bones
But the cracks around their eyes are gentle
