lyrics

“Taps” plays to the VA afternoon staff
From somebody’s phone in the bottom of the gurney
None of us hurry
To the elevator doors

And halfway through an unheard-of
Third glass of wine
When you choke up and I realize
I’ve never seen you crying
In all of my life

Tulip, don’t you feel you’re out of season?
Strike a chord
Outcome uneven
Strike the set
The actor’s leaving

Five days pass as we turn to the urn and the ash
Numb as we hum through the hymnals
Sightreading for symbols
On page forty-four

The next one comes
Guess the sun did just as it said
And its promises pass through the panes
Of glass hanging stained
That falls on her veil

Tulip, don’t you feel you’re out of season?
Strike a chord
Outcome uneven
Strike the set
The actor’s leaving
