Intro

Down the coast in little mexico

Is where I hid from your disease

My little sister moved back home from the city

And it rained and rained and rivers ran the streets

You told me dying is not what people think

Not like an ending in the books we love to read

It's more like finding that the ocean meets the sea

and there's no line, in between

I still need you

We still need you

From Coulee dam to the plains in Wyoming

Australia is reeling in back far in your wake

and at our house the coyotes are howling

wondering if this would be the end of roads

At 23 you rode your bike from Seattle

over to Boston at the age that I am now

I still remember the evening that your mother died

You were talking to your sister by the stairs.

I still need you

We still need you

1964 you lost your father

to a drunken handed man behind the wheel

And now I'm wrestling with a drunken handed God

waving bullets at the best person I know
