Daisy May

She was young and speechless,

When you laid down beside her,

In a dark suit on a dusty mattress.

She cried at her father’s casket, and I stared

at that coffin,

Wondering if I’d be on time

To my own demise

I recognized my own lust that happened to burn behind her eyes too

As the Pastor’s girl got in a dark blue Buggy after Sunday Mass

She was teasing and beautiful in a light blue dress

And I digress that I had to sit

I damned my wife to take on my mistress

And you could bet the church discouraged while we indulged in every sin

That was known.

To.

Man.

We played our parts,

And it was all gone to the wind now.
