big gray cloud with quiet feet
by the port or in the weeds
ate pretty good when you could get it
no one's to forget
and in a cardboard box by the empty lot cars pass you by
they pass you by
sunbeams moving in the grass
underneath the overpass
gangly merchandise set loose
when you were of no more use
find a pack of friends steal the housecats' cans keep warm at night
warm at night
green eyes in the dark
sleeping on the stones
watching from the park
never had a home
old friends come to meet you at the mausoleum door
walk between the vaults
hunger no more
little shadow on the floor
you don't come around no more
never asked for very much
never trust a stranger's touch
under flowers deep catch a little sleep hide from the light
from the light
green eyes in the dark
sleeping on the stones
watching from the park
never had a home
old friends come to meet you at the mausoleum door
walk between the vaults
hunger no more
