Dedicated to Edwin Wayne Devine

lyrics

Leaving the books that were set by your bed and never read
Wiping the tears from your eyes that you cried but never wept
When I look into you, you aren’t staring at me
You are peeping at someone you've never known

Gently I ask what you ate off your plate but didn't eat
Thirsty, you hold up a glass to your lips but do not drink
Holding onto your words, this is how it will be
Sitting steady on wheels as you wait to go home
Walking down streets that your children run on

You told me of houses of gold where you slept and checks you sent
And inside your shoe someone clearly had left the Constitution
Living documents change, only moments in time
But for now we can sit here until I go home
Walking down streets that your children run on
