The Old Holland |
| I was sick with that old Margaret, for four years, near about |
| Young, dumb and dumbstruck when Margie, she blew my candle out |
| I’ve got to have me a partner if I’m to sell it all |
| Save the mirror I look best in, in the back of that dirty hall |
| Stare through the beers and year and the bags and bruises fade |
| Those grim lines turn sharp and fine, like laws the pilgrim laid |
| Beaming through all the brag and cuss, promising the fall |
| At the mirror I look best in, in the back of that dirty hall |
| Soak up their mislaid luck and the floor is a pond of piss |
| The brown glass throws a face back, wondering how it came to this |
| Something about being there at last makes a man stand tall |
| That’s the mirror I look best in, in the back of that dirty hall |
| I can’t take up another drink and fight them now no more |
| They’re all moving, you’re one of them, through that Old Holland door |
| I’m wishing for a pardon through hoarse and hungry calls |
| Towards the mirror I look best in, in the back of this dirty hall |
