lyrics

I remember, she was sloe-eyed
Born when I was almost nine
That summer, my mother, brother and I
Had a dog that died
Dandelion
I met her first when she was a waitress
At a bar beside a Church of Christ
Drinking with the preacher on the day shift
In the constellation disco lights
Remember plainly, I had all the answers
Hell, I got nothing now
But certain now that shit cannot be planned on
Cannot be winnowed out

I remember, she was sloe-eyed
Dark, and a mystery
I remember whistling when she left me
Waiting for the Robert E. Lee
I remember trading, back, that summer
A ransom for a signed Pete Rose
Me feeling the shorter end of nothing
Me bleeding when it come to blows
Some dying hound lying in some culvert
Her struggle seeping out
Some hornets' nest in some queen crape myrtle
Some swollen feet and mouth
