The moon is in the gutter
|
And the stars wash down the sink
|
I am the king of the blues
|
I scape the clay off my shoes
|
And wade down the gutter and the moon
|
|
The moon blinds my eye with opal cataracts
|
As I cut through the saw-mills and the stacks,
|
Leaping over the gully where I would one day take Lucy
|
Then wash up my hands in the gully and the moon.
|
|
Such a long way from home, just me and
|
The moon is in the gutter
|
All my plans are flushed down the drain
|
I wander lonely as a cloud
|
Over memories at her mound
|
Then lie down in the bitter gutter moon.
