1340 Chesapeake St. - Devon Sproule[00:00:00]
The bruise on my knee is almost gone[00:00:18]
Honey's flown to Madison[00:00:20]
Phyllis starts a watercolour[00:00:22]
Gutters flood a spread umbrella[00:00:24]
The burner's up[00:00:26]
The flame is high[00:00:27]
The water's gone[00:00:28]
The pot is dry[00:00:29]
But there's a basement full of wine[00:00:30]
And nights to remember[00:00:32]
Of a slow talk had up a sidewalk[00:00:34]
Taking its time[00:00:37]
Walking up Chesapeake[00:00:41]
Our white house on the right[00:00:44]
Next door they're throwing junk away[00:00:49]
Furniture out in the rain[00:00:51]
They've finally put the old lady away[00:00:53]
So I took her silverware[00:00:55]
Her books and her kitchen mop[00:00:58]
Her hangers and her pans and pots[00:00:59]
The dressers where she kept her clothes[00:01:01]
It looked as though she lived alone[00:01:04]
Much to hear while our four ears are still young[00:01:07]
If we shout it right we'll have more years yet to come[00:01:15]
Tonight the moon will turn around[00:01:23]
All the way back behind the clouds[00:01:25]
Folks will lower their telescopes[00:01:27]
Drive their wives and kids back home[00:01:29]
Their eyes will block with mud and milk[00:01:31]
Their eyes inside with blindness filled[00:01:33]
And the moon will hide and seek until[00:01:35]
There's no one left to wonder why[00:01:37]
Hey why hey why[00:01:39]
The rug will soak[00:02:29]
The screen will glare[00:02:30]
You'll come and summer will be here[00:02:31]
We'll kiss and cross the swamp[00:02:33]
The boat will wait down at the bottom[00:02:35]
The sun will set late in the day[00:02:37]
The sun will take its face away[00:02:38]
But my love[00:02:40]
Your face will always stay right beside mine[00:02:41]
