about

written on School Street in Chicago, Illinois
for Florence Bridget O'Grady, 1908--1996

lyrics

You missed the boat to Anchorage
So you spent the night
Floating through icebergs alone
He took away things she recognized
Led her away from a beautiful home

Oh you should have run
You should have used your gun
When you saw him come
And when you fly so high
You can't see any signs
Where's your peace of mind

He's got the tv up so high
He forgets to remind you to breathe
Is nothing worse than silence?
I wear your ring to keep me warm
The calm inside the storm
Now nothing's worse than silence
