~an original rock ballad written & performed by the author and his sons~
~lady~you are~a vision of Sunday~a river of falling~a chant in the evening~a dry well of wanting~the church of my haunting~

~Haunting Me~

thinkin’ ‘bout endings
about going away
unanswered questions
they are promises broken
they are lies left unspoken
they are haunting me

down in the city
‘round a fire left burning
flames of society
maybe hands in a prayer
maybe blood of the slayer
maybe haunting me

round in the chamber
a far random target
bullets come tumbling
surely messengers running
surely vengeance forthcoming
surely haunting me

death on a thimble
we been taking it easy
any way we can get it
on a fast road to nowhere
on a death horse we go there
on a haunting me

lady
you are
a vision of Sunday
a river of falling
a chant in the evening
a dry well of wanting
the church of my haunting
church of my haunting
church of my haunting me
