about

Oscar set my lyric to his beautiful music. Thanks Oscar.

lyrics

She was loath to call me Mr. Good Time Charlie
And kind to avoid Enabler
Despite a predilection for all things barley
Like Hemmingway, only stabler

So she knew me as St. Bernard
Which had charm, class and wit
But these things never last for long, unlike
Play dead, roll over, sit

With time the bond weathered/
She felt most free when
Running the emotional gamut
She and reality were untethered
When she took a devotional gambit

She seemed to be an avalanche
An analogy that fit
Swallowing all as you fall, unlike
Play dead, roll over, sit

Now there are no pet names
Or even pets to name
No Charlies
Or time,
no good
Now there are no pet names

St. Bernard and the Avalanche
Are not the same
Replaced by bone,
Water and wood

So she knew me as St. Bernard
Which had charm, class and wit
But these things never last for long, unlike
Play dead, roll over, sit
