The sun was like a blackberry
crushed against the night
and we were drifting off to sea
with moonlight in our eyes
pain, regret, and whiskey
fueled the night
that night...
"I'll meet you at the gas station,"
he jumped into his truck.
We tried to follow him,
but we had no luck
Halfway home,
he took flight
Lights shone from the trees
with forest deep inside
The telephone
still ringing in my head
and Kristine screaming,
"My husband!!!"
I cannot forget that night
and how it met its end
the children went to foster homes
christine to heroin
when all he ever wanted
was to be with them
again
