In the absence of your ghost
There are pages I still dog-ear
Keep trying to picture you close
But no sentences make you stay near
So, you visit next June
But, there's gotta be a very good reason
Stuck in sunlight of the moon
Your funeral fit the season
Oh, mama, please
Tell me the lesson
There's gotta be a lesson
Sticking out the bottom of an afternoon
Got a postcard from my cousin
Neighbor next door fell out of love with her husbands
Asking questions of God
Often makes me queasy
So I asked the poet above
He says: "Such waltzing is not easy"
Oh, mama, please
Tell me the lesson
There's gotta be an answer
Sticking out the bottom of an afternoon
Oh, mama, please
Tell me the lesson
There's gotta be an answer
Sticking out the bottom of an afternoon
