From the album "No One to Bury Me When I Die" (ME137)

lyrics

take an evening walk ’round former situations’ sites
with memories of with-whom on long-forgotten nights
and the places that you’d just had to show ‘em
before it was that you’d no longer know ‘em

returned to the origin, they ask what’s now wrong with me
i can’t tolerate them; they can’t get along with me
everything happened a long time ago
and that’s all that any of ‘em wants to know

thirty years with someone, then she died, now he’s alone
expecting me to sympathize and listen to him moan
but he’s no interest in knowing how bad it
gets for someone who has never had it

accelerating time, weeks now passing as had days
has let mistakes catch up with me, malinger in their stays
as though assigned to punish me for every sin
of someone whom i can’t recall i’d ever been

i have no one to bury me when i die
i have no one to comfort me when i cry
i have nothing, for no one to inherit
i have no life, and no one to share it
