Susan Letra

through the autumn sun
but she can’t walk anymore

Richard was the one
Her one in one million
When the rear breaks failed
behind a semi trailer
he was buried in the autumn sun

Now at night he comes
To the sound of conga drums
He wakes her from her sleep
Susan throws off the sheets
& they’re dancing on the one

When you see the light, hold on tight
Tonight’s the night
Come dancing with your baby

Roll the dice, pay the price
Say good night
Come dancing with your baby

Morning Susan wakes
A feeling so sedate
Richard was here, I felt him kiss my ear
We were dancing cheek to cheek

He told me to up my dose
That way we’d always be so close
Mix the vicodin with the methadone
No more sad days on our own

When you see the light, hold on tight
Tonight’s the night
Come dancing with your baby
Roll the dice, pay the price Say good night
Come dancing with your baby
I need her love like the wind
To blow autumn leaves – Start again
