The News About William |
| 4 in the morning the sidewalk’s asleep |
| Dogs on the porch |
| Spiders on the leaf |
| Shipwrecked by night sailing through days |
| Nobody noticed the slipping away |
| Connecting the dots with thorns in his side |
| Boarded up the Windows with pain and with pride |
| The music box broken that once was his soul |
| Its sad little song spinning out of control |
| Then came the storm that washed the roads out |
| Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south |
| Second line drums marched into the sea |
| While the clouds overhead cried «mutiny» |
| They parted for Cathy and her bitter news |
| As her words fail and the sky grew dim |
| Recalled how close to that exit I’ve been |
| Ours not to reply, ours not to reason why |
| The news about William |
| The lifeline retreats |
| Desire for release |
| The thorns in his side |
