TRAIN WRECK – LYLE MERRILL (FOSSIL)

Drowning in tears treading the salted sea
Numbness flares opposite pain in me
Missed a curve and derailed in Spain
Head on later in Switzerland
Safe until something goes wrong

No visitors not preacher, priest, bishop or witness
Not a saint, sinner or whore
Two out of three dogs befriend me
Taco Tuesday pigging out
Regular price Wednesday go without

20th Anniversary celebrating 10 years alone
Mother’s Day cash returned
You put on the official face
And visit my mom and sis

Train shop at Warm Springs
No vendor to be seen
On to Mestizo mocha coffee and cola
Keeps the heart on track
A life derailed a loco is cut for scrap
