chuck brodsky - al's ashes & me كلمات الأغنية

(in memory of al grierson, 1948 – 2000)

welcome home, al, said the sign at the gate
i got there early, al got there late
together we entered and greeted our mates
al – he was back in texas

al’s ashes & me, we’ve been for a drive
to places he loved while he was alive
back at the ranch, on the day we arrived
we saw almost all of his favorite people

al’s ashes & me, been making the rounds
out in the country & into the towns
trying to find some higher ground…

al’s ashes & me, we sleep in motels
where we have to be out by 11 or 12
al could do better describing the smells
‘cause al, you see, he was a poet

i get the bed & al gets the floor
my jeans in a pile over by the door
there’s always a bible in one of the drawers…
and a remote control for the tv

now i might appear to be eating alone
a table for two, i sit on my own
but looks are deceiving, the truth it be known
alone but for the roses

al’s ashes & me had a brush with the law
at the airport the metal detector went off
i emptied my pockets, & the first thing they saw
was al, and i had to do some explaining

al’s ashes & me on the donegal sh0r-
we walked in the sand and the ocean roared
him in my pocket, me trying to keep warm
in my coat, but al had a red bandana

al’s ashes & me, we sat in a pub
cobblestone bar, in smithfield part of dublin
al on the wagon, me raising my cup
“to al,” i says to the barman

i introduce al to some of my friends
not all the time just every now & again
i guess you could say that it really depends
on how it feels at the moment

al’s ashes & me, we wish you were here
we’d show you the sights & bring you good cheer
we’re hoping to see you later this year
lord willing…
