On Mulberry Drive

On Mulberry Drive
walking in the Spring rain.
Except for signs of a driveway
nothing else remains.
They took it all away
the house and the hill.
That spot we shared in '78
all the love and thrills.

Oblivion is coming
it's written in the stone.
It really starts out
on the day that you're born.
Live every second
dance what you've captured.
Shadowville Mythos...
is on the last chapter.

On Mulberry Drive
on another mystery play.
Almost fifty years ago
still seems like yesterday.
That long driveway
now goes into space.
We thought we'd live forever
not dead and disgraced.

Darkness is falling
archived in a book.
It really gets smaller
the closer you look.
Breathe deeply my darling
smoke them if you have to.
Shadowville Mythos...
is on the last chapter.

On Mulberry Drive
now the hail's coming down.
Taps on the umbrella
as I'm walking around.
I remember that fireplace
I remember her smile.
I remember Edgewood Park
where we'd laugh for a while.

In the living room
I heard a ghost moan.
As I talked with the Cavalier
on a land line telephone.
Relive every second
these memories you've captured.
Shadowville Mythos...
is on the last chapter.

Almost two years later, the spamming and talentless Dreckster is
still not feeding the worms. Drat and double drat.

Lack of response noted and ridiculed.

Honestly, I'm surprised anyone playing on that unspeakable
clusterfuck didn't demand their credits be listed as Alan
Smithee. Even the drum machine doesn't want to be named.

I liked the song. The music enhances the lyrics. Mallard's
guitar is always catchy, and you held up your vocal end well.

The ending was cool; reminded me of "Cinnamon Girl".

Thanks again, George.
