POSTCARDS FROM THE ROAD

I started out as if I knew where I was going,

but sorry to leave you at home all alone.

Everyone is grouchy here and went to bed early

and then the dog squealed and howled all night

and had a lonesome-attack at five in the dark.

The morning sun is beautiful and terrible

and brings the world’s worst news on wires.

Everyone is grouchy here and got up early

to read the world’s worst news on wires.

The sun will come up beautiful and terrible

so the dog must squeal and howl for the dark.

Sorry to leave you there at home all alone

where I started like I knew where I was going,

I have lonesome-attacks like a homeless dog.
