A Tale of Two

Lyrics

Things come There's nothing sometimes, as a matter of course

Lonesome polecat was lonesome Because he was a polecat He felt like one, he smelled like one He went too far, he went too fast The future was over before it had passed That was the moment Time was the rest

There was the moment And time was the rest He had flown early leaving the nest He would light on things for the rest of his life Which seemed alright when he came to think about it

Harry Sundown got his name from his dad A fellow known for following a cat Down a road toward the west Where the sun sets He was sensitive and cared for And precise and cheerful

Some people might say He was nice I couldn't say We only met once or twice Though, to be fair I remember he was alright As I recall, he was alright
