pumpkin eater

a 1954 ford roars down the road

a 1963 rain pouring as it came

uphill to the right

makes a left turn then a right

and maybe yet tonight there will be some time

an apple falling to the ground

yellowed by the sound

and by the sound down the road

i think it he that goes

uphill to the light

makes a left turn then a right

and maybe yet tonight there will be some time

pumpkin eater just after july

always comes home in time for the pie

pumpkin eater just after july

always comes home in time for the pie

monday morning brings the light

something isn't right

and running down she finds he's gone

she walks across the lawn

finds the apple tree

and watches as he leaves

in 1963 as in time

always come home in time for the pie
