Press play before reading. Salute.
My love
My Marie
Hear my tired voice
Wherever you are
In Tennessee
For this is the only love song
I'll ever sing for you
All the way from Mexico
Sent via email
For I miss you so
Like the Cordonazo winds
That blows
Oh my true love
Don't lie to me
And give me no choice
But to let the fake ones
Rejoice
When you eventually
Come in
Crying fake tears
Which I know may
Sparkle and shine
Filled with sin
For all to see
I even lit a white candle
Kneeled and prayed
At a quarter past three
Way past midnight
Late last night
Praying you'd come back to me
Prayed you'd tell me
Where you went
Late last night
Prayed you'd tell me the truth
When you get here
Before I hear it on the grapevine
The Grapevine
Our red community line
For I just need you
To come back
To talk it through
Lay out new plans
And see Hope
Come walking into view
That's why I lit a white candle
And prayed
So the Ode Gods could intervene
With their powers
From The Great In-Between
And allow us
To be how it used to be
Will you leave
Tennessee
Come back to Mexico
To take my hand again
For all to see
So this is my only love song
Sung just for you
As I fall to my knees
Pleading to The Olde Gods
In The Great In-Between
For I miss you so
Just come back to me
Or have you met someone else
And has your love for me froze
Leaving me
Sat out in the cold
As this wild
Cordonazo wind
Blows
