The Town & Miss Lorraine

I found a book in a washed up ship Reading the notes the captain staged Inside this suit of dust I wait As the waves carry me Back to shore My neighbor Miss Lorraine commands The town's attention when she wants She has a way of making everyone she meets Get lost and lone With no direction home There's a bad accident on the interstate A snake of avenging our reaches out The fire inside my soul has nearly flickered out So I order another round Sliding into the sea It's in a season in Rome Watching Miss Lorraine Smoking alone with me
