The Empty Nest

Did I judge this wrong?

But you had it all

You had it allA gift of the gods

In your city of gold

And you'll piss it all

You had it allAnd what drags the rope

You know, or, you don't

You had it allGone gone gone gone

Going going goneThe day you moved off

The whole village mourned

Love's no kind of joke

Or something smallAnd where will you go?

There's things you don't know

Fingers tearing your clothes

Baby ungrown

You had it allGone gone gone gone

Going going goneAnd suffering alone

Your bowl emptied out

All your secrets known

I welcome your call

These walls don't fall.
