The Tower

I’m staying now
In a vacation house
It’s off season
There’s no reason to leave

Today in the fishing boat
I pulled the choke
And started the engine and
Set it on slow

I trolled down the river
Under collapsing oaks
Dead leaves and mossy trees
You know I made my way down to the gulf

I let my friends go
So let my friends know

Tonight I’m staying in
To do my tarot
I got stuck on a card
I couldn’t let go

It’s a burning tower
Hit by lightning
And people are jumping out
It’s coming down
It’s coming down
