Pamme Swan: Swan Songs

Sundog/Pamarama

(Pamme Swan)
Sundog

Left my house to solitude to fly down ninety-five
Lucky me cement road reprieve and a sundog trailing behind
There’s a rainbow over Savannah I’ll walk River Street tonight
To the waving girl lets give this a whirl
And hoist the truth up into light
He only told you, you couldn’t hear
He could only hold you, your fate was never clear
But your love was a work of art, oh

He’d meet you at the Inn on the corner
And that place up over the store
And he’d make you feel all jangly
Like you never ever loved before
So you waited and you waited and you waited
The sundog flared
And the day was dark as a Georgia night
The day you joined the renaissance fair
You had to run learn how to breathe
You fit right in that land of make believe
Selling feathers from a purple cart.oh

Eternal fans are spinning, eternal tides keep crashing in
Brown backed boys are swimming out to catch the waves rolling in
I’ll sit on this dock and wait for a dolphin or a manatee
I turn around and there he is that sundog watching me
You follow me. Your voice is very clear
All these years later your always there
In the quiet part of my heart
