Upholstery Boy

about

How to write someone without unwriting them.

lyrics

He's not the fastest seahorse in the cavalry
and that's just fine, it's all just fine.
He is the Mr. Speaker in a parliament of owls,
the cold, cold killer in a murder of crows.

Oh, this moon, won't you stay for day?

He is just four spoons short of a bowl of soup
and always rum-warm.
He is dressed up in all kinds of upholstery,
and he is just that somebody that every body knows.

Oh, this moon, won't you stay for day?

And I don't mean to lay him out for you,
and I don't mean to betray.
I'm just trying to hear what his body maybe had to say.
I'm just trying to get a little moon into my day.

Oh, this moon, won't you stay?
