Rental History

from Second Dawn Chorus by Dawn Chorus

lyrics

Every house in this town is haunted
Every ghost will get just what it wanted when
Every bathtub in this town is flooded and
We are washed out to the sea
His dearest love lives in the room above him
He couldn't sleep for fear she did not love him
Every night he lay awake
Afraid his lonely heart would break
Take this bottle fill it full of histories
Tragic accounts of wandering and misery
And when the boat takes you from me
Our curse will float out to the sea

Every house in this town is covered with
Dust and paint and bottles broken over like
Scars and marks of a restless tenant who was
Never sure where to be
A rental history written out in street signs
Laundry lists and personal phone lines
We gain a habit every day
Our bodies demand to have their way
Take this bottle fill it full of histories
Tragic accounts of wandering and misery
And when the boat takes you from me
Our curse will float out to the sea

Every house in this town is shuttered
We packed and left the day that we discovered that
Every couple in this town got wasted and
They all misplaced their keys
Every morning with a scarf of roses the
Couples work their way through foolish poses
They found they hadn't much to say
By the light of brightest day
Take this bottle fill it full of histories
Tragic accounts of wandering and misery
And when the boat takes you from me
Our curse will float out to the sea
