My Dear

from Flypaper Motel by Jim Jackson

lyrics

My dear, my dear
Call a name that was never mine
My dear, my dear
Ply me full with ten-dollar wine
Take me where the rivers flow, let the road reclaim its load
Tonight I’m staying here
My dear

My dear, my dear
From Valentine’s to New Year’s day
My dear, my dear
Every dirty main street washed away
Now I know the gypsy lied when she said the ocean hides
What’s revealed in every tear
My dear

At seventeen the sky was purple-blue
I parted my lip and I thought of you
And the smell of wine at suppertime

My dear, my dear
I’m rented out until you go
My dear, my dear
Who’ll come next well I don’t know
Driving around till dawn comes up with the remnants of a broken cup
Oh, I swear we’re getting near
My dear
