about

This blues is beholden to poetry from Night of the Iquana by Tennessee Williams.

lyrics

"Next of Skin"

Oh courage what must I give
to be again your place to live
oh courage now what must I give
to be again your place to live
not only in that golden time
but in this faint heart of mine

Oh laughter what must i give
to be again your place to live
oh laughter now what must I give
to be again your place to live
cry low and dry my moan
so percolate my funny bone

Oh quiet what must i give
to be again your place to lve
oh quiet now what must I give
to be again your place to live
so gabby the glaring light
sink into the hush of night

Oh body what must I give
to be again your place to live
oh body now what must i give
to be again your place to live
my better to welcome in
she who is my next of skin
