herndon - requiem (autumn in tulsa) lyrics
requiem (autumn in tulsa)
it was autumn in tulsa
and springtime in perth
when the wedding bells rang out
from st. joseph’s church
where he lay in the alley
with a cross ’round his neck
like a bottle of mad dog
all broken and spent
no, i didn’t bring flowers
but i witnessed his death
and stood like a coward
to steal his last breath
he said, “the problem, you see
is nearly everyone but me
is a pusillanimous
son of a b-tch
yeah, they’ll look brave and bold
they’ll act cool and cold
but on the sabbath they will leave you
like an ox in a ditch.”
so i turned back into the rain
pulled my collar up close
and forgetting his pain
i headed back home
’cause the sunsets and seasons
are all fictions of this earth:
when it’s autumn in tulsa
it’s spring, springtime in perth
