Last Year

January came and took my heart away February felt the same March, my hugs became hold ons April, I huffed like porridge on the boil Morning May, I'm downwind from your shampoo Ichi, ni, san, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyuu, jyuu June, I learned to count to ten in Japanese Dry July, like wiping skin from my skull Instead, I visit family They told me I'm special Hmm Augustus came And stabilized me with my father's pain Relieving drug, diazepam Life floats away October, I swam back for my birthday Firework display in a cafeteria of my old school Happier my coal-black sleep in my cold, deep bed December, you sang at my funeral If it's depths to your rivers, I've picked one for you Oh, greedy with Ss but equalled by Is If it's stones for your pockets, I've collected a few To hold you down To hold you down Mississippi, come back to me Oh, Mississippi, your coal-black sleep Oh, Mississippi Mississippi, come back to me Oh, Mississippi from your coal-black sleep Oh, Mississippi
