MOSSY AND A COAT OF FLOWERS
Stops inside a candy store
Reds are sweet and greens are sours
Still no letter at the door
So she'll wash her flowered curtains
Hang them in the wind to dry
Dust the tables with his shirt and
Wave another day good -bye
Moss's faucet needs a plumber
Moss's sorrow needs a man
Red is autumn, green is summer
Greens are fading and the sand
All along the ocean beaches,
Stares a panty at the sky,
Moss buys a bag of peaches,
Stops a postman passing by.
Falls to the sidewalk like
Winter blows up from the river,
there's no one to take her
Marcy dresses warm, it's snowing,
takes a yellow cab uptown
Red is stop and green is going,
sees a show then rides back down
Down along the Hudson River,
past the shipyards in the cold,
still no letters being delivered,
still the winter days unfold.
And sellers make a dream,
And hear how he tells her,
Marcy leaves and doesn't tell us
where or why she moved away
Red is angry, green is jealous,
that was all she had to say
Someone thought they saw her Sunday,
window shopping in the rain
