Horse of the Other World

Those moonsongs
Billy sang to you when we were young
I have not forgotten
Every day I watch you slip away
Don't know what's wrong
What are you hiding from?

I know you're drifting
Your books are right where you left them
Come home soon
In all the empty rooms you have been given
Believe us
You need us

When we were young
I sat beside you close in Al-Anon
And drove you where you wanted
If you fail I'll cover up the trail
You know I know how low to go

To build you slowly
To satisfy my weakness for precision
Show your bruises
Don't pretend to love the ones who left them
Oh, my June, just smile when you see us
