lyrics

Had you ever met Ms. Carolyn?
They buried her at Hart Island.
She said all things come to pass
when I'd seen her last.

Had you seen the kids out on the lawn?
Playing frisbee when the weather was warm
and how Sheila tied her hair
from that December air.

But now that's Sonny's set aside
never you mind, never you mind.

Do you remember that old fig tree?
the one the landlord had cut down last spring.
She put the bread out for the birds
but the squirrels got it first.

But now that's Sonny's set aside
never you mind, never you mind.

There are waffles in the morning on the porch out back
while Sheila's reading and reclining so quietly
she looks up for a second when she catches the neighbor boy
holding up his shirt with his chin so he can pee
on the grass like an angel in a granite water fountain
that you dip your hands into to wash your face
and to cleanse your clogging pores with some alternate agent
and for something to lift you other than the NJ Transit.

Cause now that Sonny's set aside,
never you mind, never you mind.
