Lights Of The Commodore Barry |
I saw the lights of the Commodore Barry |
From the deck of the ghost of the flower street ferry |
And I felt the shock of an atom bomb |
When the tired old city of Chester |
Was draped and dying in my arms |
For a while I was lost under the weight of remembering |
Of how the sun would warmthe projects some mornings |
When the birds were falling like winter’s frozen rain |
And I was all fingers numb holding a brown paper lunch |
Twelve years old and already ashamed |
Now soon I was floating over Highland Avenue |
By my side was the Red Cross, the Pope and the President too |
Yeah I had returned like I swore I would |
To right some wrongs and sing my song |
And share the luck that every man should |
But when the fever broke and I awoke from the dream |
I was passed out beside a jukebox siphoning gasoline |
When my brother yanked me hard from the corner bar |
And carried my drunk bones all the way home |
draped and heavy in his arms |
