Judee at the Delaware Water Gap (A Prelude)

This is just a place You are just a song Was it a disgrace that I could never play along? Driving through the Gap Listening for a sound You put on Judee Sill and we sang along Soldier of the heart How'd you get so strong And did you already know I'd fall apart? The sound the honey locust makes When its leaves shake in the wind You said that you regretted that I had to be a man You put the magnet on The photo on the fridge Your brother in a tree, his eyes aimed at the lens Your father's point and shoot The moment still suspended The bending branch reflecting the buried root
