Willie (For Howard)

Wipe sand off of my shoes, wipe dust from the rails

You know why I’m yelling, but they ask anyway

One day I will be blind, like Willie at the end

Where’s the dog? Where’s my friend?

You’ll change your clothes tonight

Here comes a warm jet

It’s going to be a long rest of our lives

Covered in black hair, with my tail hitting the tiles

One day I will be blind, with my tail hitting the tiles

One day I will be blind, like Willie at the end
