Maureen she knows
when it’s time to go home
she said “we’re not alone anymore”
and I truly believe
that she’s right
part of the time
through my blurry stormy eyes
and my cloudy mind
Maureen she breathes
soft and slowly
she whispers in her sleep
about her dreams
and it takes me back
to the fact
that we’re floating
in dark blue and black and red and green
Maureen she dreams
that it’s snowing
as the winds release
the dandelion seeds
I dream of seas of wheat
and the golden waves
I look back to see
I’m still who I will always be
Maureen believes
that we’re changing
she looks at me
like she’s never seen a ghost
I guess it goes to show
shadows slowly rearranging
the people and the places
that we know
Maureen reads to me
while I’m driving
through the desert
down in nowhere New Mexico
only one way to go
we both know without talking
and the cats finally fell
all the way to sleep
Maureen is awake
daydreaming
as the evening creeps in
before our eyes
the roads a straight line
until the mountain range
a ghost plane hangs high
in the grey blue sky
stop for the night
Maureen I think you’re right
to laugh about our past
Maureen and I
laugh at whatever
crosses our path
