(Sort Of) A Song for Patsy Cline

I am a liar
I slink to the bottom
Some deserters never learn
Crimson, cartwheel, and candle burn

The distance is equal
To rations for beggars
Do you feel the same divide?
Lightweight lessons in thin red lines

Some things you can't remember
Other things you can't forget

Sidelined by the woodwork
I keep holding on to things you used to say

We play follow the leader
She rhymes with disaster
Like Virginia in the rain
Carpe Diem, and candy cane

So perfectly wounded
A haunting forever
Terror sounds the grand alarm
Shot glass, shogun, me safe from harm

Some things you can't remember
Other things you can't forget

I keep trying to say goodbye
But the closer I get the more I change my mind
If you're holding on to someone else
And don't like go you lose yourself
I'm trying to say goodbye

Sidelined by the woodwork
I keep holding on to things you used to say

"The wreckage was discovered about 6 a.m. after a night-long
Search by Highway Patrol, Civil Defense and local officers
Parts of the yellow plane and bits of human flesh were scattered over a 60-yard area a mile off Highway 70 about three miles west of Camden
The wreckage was between the highway and a ranger tower, which had served as a base of operations for searchers
When asked whether all four bodies had been located, the Civil Defense Official Officer said:
'There's not enough to count...They're all in small pieces.'"

I keep trying to say goodbye
But the closer I get the more I change my mind
If you're holding on to someone else
And don't let go you lose yourself
I'm trying to say goodbye
